Looks to me he is getting ready to torch that filthy SOB, dont belong in this world

This thread has confirmed no one knows how to properly use the thing. I pretty sure I use mine wrong...

the small fork goes on the underside of the tank, at the edge, and the large fork goes on the frame.
it only supports one side.
stupid design

  Is the rod supposed to be bent/curved?  (mine is) 

I heard some chicks dig that.  Sorry, too much

This question is asked fairly frequently.  How about someone take two quick pictures:  (1)  how to use a tank prop;  and (2) how to store a tank prop.  Then post it up in How-To section. 


(I would, but a tank prop doesn't work on my bike). 

A better solution is a strap, one end clipped to the tank, the other to the rear frame cross rail.

I've never seen one curved, I think that's your problem.

It's actually pretty common for it to have a curve.  Wait, what were we talking aboot?

i just use a hammer that's in my toolbox... i could never figure out how that stupid prop rod worked anyway...

I guess I should add that I always used a small wrench and it worked perfectly.

What about this?

The large fork on mine doesn't fit over the frame rail; it's too narrow.  Thinking it may have been bent in accidentally, I tried to bend it out by hand.  Ain't happening, the rod diameter is too thick for that.  So evidently it came from the factory too narrow.

Of course, now that I have my DP Steering Damper I can't even open the tank without removing most of the damper first.
