Improvised accessory today for my 84 Cali II
« on: January 16, 2016, 01:30:58 PM »
Not great to look at...but it actually works quite well.  Works in both locations...its a 2 in 1 tool.
Any guesses on what it does?

Tool for removing small pebbles from the front and rear tire treads?  Give us a hint. Works only on the Cali II or would also work on other bikes (e.g - V7II)?  Is it patented?

In the future I will strive to tolerate everything except intolerance and to hate nothing except hatred.

1) tool for removing embedded bugs in teeth from riding with an open-face helmet; 2) also useful for scratching the sides of cars that don't yield the right of way.

It's a homemade "key" for the luggage locks on the old Krauser hard bags.  Proper key blanks seem to be hard to find for these old locks.

When examining the locks i realized they are very simple mechanisms. Even calling them locks is kind of a stretch. they are just tricky latches and are very easy to "pick".  It took a few attempts to get the keys right but they work just fine. 

The material is an old curtain bracket or something like that, 1.4mm thick.
