: Had A Eureka Moment

Anyone else ever have one of these types of moments?

I was fighting with the plastics on my bike getting them off, then putting new plastics back on, cutting my knuckles up with the edges of the plastics, sending Text Messages to people looking for help, freezing your ass off in a non heated garage when all you needed to do the job correctly was a 7 dollar tool from Sears. Once I got my brand spanking new Ratcheting Offset Screw Driver, all my woes came to an end and I was done with the plastic swap in minutes. If you don't have one, run out and get yourself one, especially if you plan on taking the front fairing off of your R1.:idea

What plastics were you attempting to install/remove that you need those for?

The Front Fairing. The nose of my R1. There is a screw right in the middle of the headlight that's a bitch to get to when you are taking it off. Its even worse when you are installing a new front fairing. The screws are tapping screws and its a real pain to get the screw to cut into the plastics. Not to mention the wiring harness that is right in the way. The 2 other lower screws under the lights aren't as bad to get to, but much easier to take off an put on with the offset screwdriver.
