I know the one I bought wasn't even close to fitting right out of the box....
    Also patented and can't be exactly copied. Someone throwed up a pic of the two in comparison some time back. Differences are obvious. That partly why the some $100 for the 'real deal'.........they gotcha', in exchange for maybe lesser four letter quotations while using.

      Valve Adjustment

      I don't have any trouble with the mechanics of valve adjustment just as long as I have the right tool.
      I'm still looking for that kind hearted person to loan me the tool just long enough to do the job.

        They are not expensive, $12 I think on eBay. If you plan to keep the bike for awhile just go buy one!
