Default Adjusting the Mousetrap

This guy does an excelllent job of explaining how to adjust the mousetrap. Make me want to put mine on just for the heck of it.


And this guy is definitely old skool type. Knuckle in a chopped frame, springer front end, spool hub and an Electric Frank voltage regulator. Good looking bike.

Very informative. My buddy actually was talking about a video on how to set the mousetrap and from his description and watching the video, this was the video.

Just going to do this on my Panhead project. Been a long time since I've done it, so a good refresher. Thanks for posting the vid!

Did that to my pan years ago and this video is great to show how it is done.

Watched the video a few months ago and set my mousetrap on my pan. Awesome video and great explanations on adjusting one. Highly recommend.

I do not currently own a bike with a mousetrap, and I thoroughly enjoyed that video. Very well explained, thanks for posting.

Did the deed today. That 'trap works like a charm. Smooooooth. It had been years since I adjusted the 'trap, but the video refreshed my memory and the job when without a hitch. Thanks again for posting.
