Shave Cream Intake Caps
I don't know how I stumbled upon this idea, but I use it all the time. With the carbs removed on my second-gen VFR projects, I want to protect the intake runners from objects, dirt and water. I began by cutting sections of plastic and zip-tying them over the openings, which I still for other sized carbs, but these Edge brand shave cream covers fit the 2d-gen rubber intake boots perfectly. Simply remove the upper metal clamps and these slip snuggly in place. I can now work around the bike or even wash the area without fear of something finding its way into the engine.

Bubba's Chain Removal Hack
My Motion Pro chain combination tool both removes and installs rivet-type chains. But if all I need is to get the old junk chain off, then I just reach for my Harbor Freight cut-off tool. It makes short work of this task and making sparks is always fun. Here, Project 41 loses its rusty old drive chain.
