OT/Does Anyone use this Hex Tool
Saw this at the Motorcycle Super Store website. Does anyone use this? Also, they are selling PR 2CT's for cheap for you summer touring buffs.

That's what I was thinking, Jeff. Looks pretty versatile, Ken. Got it on order with a PR 2CT for the R11S. Already had a front in the storage rack.

If you found the exact tire cheaper elsewhere, have MSS price-match it.
I've done it before with their low price guarantee.

Personally I would just rather order it from the Mom and Pop place. I like to support the little guy when ever I can. And their shipping is lightning fast too.

I think he already placed the order - the only thing I like about MSS vs. independents is that they turn their inventory quicker on current, non-leftover tires. I've gotten some amazingly fresh rubber from them, not that it's a big deal.
Plus, their shipping and process is stone reliable - I haven't always received that from independents.

Good tool
Ditto what Ken says. For my own use, it's no big deal, but if I need a bit for a customer that none of my distys carry, then MSS I can count on, so they get the nod

I guess using the Superstore is just out of habit. Richard, I'd have to pay sales tax with TB unless i had them ship it to Das Bikehaus.

Got one from Cycle Gear awhile back. Easier than finding a socket with the right size hex on the end for your axle(cheap way out).

The reverse side of a Craftsman spark plug socket works perfectly also. For those on a budget.

I don't believe they warehouse a lot of tires, rather they drop ship direct from the big warehouse, If I remember correctly mine came from Tucker -Rocky in PA. Probably why they can sell so cheap, as the cost of multiple shipping is eliminated. They are getting LOTS of accolades for service and price, around the inter web, and if you want to call, rather then mess with online, one of the owners will answer the phone.
