" Great quality, price is right and a good chance to buy American ! "
____ Well all quite possibly so but, the multi.ear ex.flange-nut wrench which Mike has included a link to, is stated to be for a "V-twin", and since the Ducati L-twins use a significantly larger exhaust ring/flange-nut (than those of our Duc.Singles), THAT wrench thus likely won't be of much use to those of us with only Duke-singles.
____ The wrench that Pete has posted a picture of, looks pretty impressive and ought to work great on and keep a NEW ex.ring/flange-nut in original/straight-condition ! _ However, by having been designed to grab so very many (13) of the individual ear-tabs all in a row (without skipping any), it thus-then likely won't be able to be easily fitted onto USED multi.ear-tab ex.ring/flange-nuts with their often slightly bent ear-tabs.
So it would've been more usefully designed, if that wrench had been made with 2/3rds less teeth-slots, so as to skip-over two ear-tabs between every one it grabs, (thus allowing such a wrench a better chance of getting fitted-over the ear-tabs of a 'used' ex.ring/flange-nut).
" I struggle with finding info on the site here as there is so much info - not sure if there is capability to put a index-by-topic, that would be nice. "
____ I agree that the search-engine for this w.site leaves a lot to be desired from it (which it doesn't seem to deliver) !
And there has come to be an overwhelming number of many,many various threads to consider going-through just to try to find the established info ya're looking for !
__ Ever-since this section of the w.site grew over 3-pages in depth, (it's now at 17-pages !), I've wanted all the individual threads which have gotten pushed-off the 1st/front-page, to then fall-into categorization under about four major subsections, such as: 'MOTOR' ; 'ELECTRICAL' ; 'CHASSIS' ; & 'MISC.' ,, that way, we don't have to wade-through all the (too-many!) established pages of (25) threads that can be about ANYTHING!
This 'categorization' would organize non-current threads similarly to a 'tree' type of filing-system (of which all PC-users ought be familiar with). _ However in the past whenever I've made this logical suggestion, a number of established/regular members pleaded against the notion, (thus putting THEIR concerns ahead of the intended convenience for newer members). _ Here's a link to one of such occasions...
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=94&p=583&hilit=tree#p565I wonder if there's now become any change of heart on the matter, (since there has now been enough time passed-by for those old-members to have forgotten what-all they've read from back then) ?
Hopeful-Cheers,
