Default Tool Roll Mistake


Hi guys got a sad story(how stupid I am) I bought this tool roll which I think is awesome mounted it on the front fork tubes and turn signal bar it mounted perfect or so I thought. Went on a 200 mile ride yesterday(ride was incredible) got home went out this to clean the bugs off and found this f87549g dent in my front fender I guess I am so stupid that I didn't reliaze how much travel the front does. So I am just saying to ya'll be careful when you put a tool roll or anything on the front. I am pissed but not the end of the world cause I do paint and body work so I'll fix it next weekend Just sucks to overlook things when you get old!!

Dude - that sucks! I'd be sick about it (but I can't do the bodywork myself to repair it). Thanks for the heads up, I won't be mounting anything up there on my bike.

I guess I'll keep mine in the saddle bag where I found it.
Sorry for your demise.

Nah that's what sucks just that skimpy little tool set that came from the MoCo with the bike.

OUCH! That sux!

Been there, done that. Luckily mine was only with a ride bell, so the ding was MUCH smaller. Was able to tap it out with a rubber mallet. Don't think you'll get that lucky.
