    Special tools?

    Looking way into the high mileage future are there any Buell/Harley special tools that you really wouldnt be able to complete a repair without? I want to be able to attempt any future repairs to my bike both big and small without any shop help (obviously not reboring, machining or engineering stuff etc) i know the subject of what if any spares we should all be stocking up on has been done before but i dont think this has? Curious what you all think? Julia needs me right now (she is ok though) so i will check back in tomorrow!! Thanks chaps! Goodnight America!!

    A TPS Reset wrench is a must.

    Buells are pretty simple and exposed to work on. Even a 'crank tool' can be made from scrap aluminum. I think the only 'tool' I'd get familier with is ECMDroid, or ECMSpy. Everything else is hammer simple.

    Almost forgot... also very important; cocky's friend, chewy & gaffa.
