Nice looking bike sir. I'm wondering... In the US we call them wrenches, but you call them spanners. Here a spanner is a special tool for grabbing on to ring shaped nuts with notches around the perimeter. Do you call those spanners as well? Another difference is "swingin' arm" vs "swing arm".
Hi Chris, in the uk as you say, wrenches are spanners. There are open ended spanners (10mm one end and 12mm the other, the next size up is 12/14 so in a set you have 2 of each size), ring spanners (same as open ones size wise), and combination spanners which are open one end and ring the other, these are the same size both ends so you need 2 sets to adjust the nut and bolt, adjustable spanners, oh and C spanners for suspension adjustment. Swinging arm over here 👍
Beautiful motorcycle
Thanks for sharing
Nice mate! Still rocking my dad's 81 shovelhead Fxwg. Keeping the eighties alive without the yayo 🤣🤘
Nice bike, a bit far from home and apparently well loved. Good Enough.
Nice looking bike brother. What wheels are you running?
