PRE-LOAD WRENCH
I never had a wrench to adjust the preload on my Griso so I chewed this one out of 1/8" aluminum plate using a coping saw, took me about 20 minutes start to finish.
The curve to fit the Sachs adjustment nut is 38mm Radius (76 Diameter)

Actually the handle is just a bit too long, won't quite swing between the strut and rear tire. No, I don't measure stuff.
WHEEL MOUNTING AID "wheel-liner-upper"
If ever you have struggled getting the rear wheel back onto your bike, hard to line up the holes and get the screws started, This is just a 70 x 12 MS bolt from hardware store with the head cut off.
Needs the screw driver slot to get it back out, don't make it any longer than 70 mm or the tire won't fit in behind the muffler.
I tried it out last night, what a difference, took a fraction of the time it usually takes.

Great ideas.
That "wheel-liner-upper" could be long and still work on a Stelvio without having to use a screwdriver .... think I'll cut one out!

Thanks, I stole your name for it
Of course with a Stelvio you don't need the wrench for the rear strut, they cheaped out on the Griso.

Of course with a Stelvio you don't need the wrench for the rear strut, they cheaped out deleted the bulky mechanism to improve performance on the Griso.
Fixed it for ya.
