Default Exhaust Work Tip

As I was putting my bike back together this morning, and tackling the exhaust, I had to try and get the P clamp to return to it's original shape so I could bolt it back together. If you've ever worked with P clamps you know this can be a challenge, especially if you had to stretch it open to remove the exhaust.

I'm sure many of you have already used something like this, but I damn near wet myself when I saw how well it worked. Just hooked up a large C clamp on top and bottom and tightened it up, and everything lined right up.

Anyway, just had to show this.

Like they say, "the hardest question in the world is easy when you know the answer". Used it a couple of times and it works great.
