Automatic boot opening struts

For the Seat? Do tell...

They're hard to find. There's just one seller from Poland. The eBay item number is: 283611493199

There's no coding required, just press and hold the middle key button and the extra force of the struts opens the boot.

It came with a flat blade and microfiber cloth too. Didn't use the microfibre but it's now in the door pocket - it's bound to be useful for something

Can the engineers amongst you tell me whi a JIS spec screwdriver is better than a Phillips? Will a JIS work on a Philips screw head?

JIS is the Japanese standard. The angle and length of the tip is half that of philips which lends itself to smaller size screws and flange/button head screws. If you've ever tried to use a PH1 screwdriver on a button head screw you know you only get 1 opportunity to use that screw before it rounds out.

That's not even the best task they can do.:

FYI they are the perfect tool to dry down your trackbike after a wash or coming back from a wet trackday .!
(Reduces all those stuck brake pads & corrosion puddles on the tops of engine casings)

so they are worth having in the tool box? Even though i dont own a japanese bike?

That's why I bought one with a short nozzle

It's also the perfect tool for removing all the water from my folding door mirrors after the car gets cleaned.

I currently use my air compressor for both of those tasks and it's frustrating because it's a small capacity compressor and NOISY AS EFF!

I don't have one, I just make sure if I round any screws I replace them

....And there's always a little dimple or dot on the screwhead to let you know it's JIS.
Almost looks like a flaw on the screw.

4 JIS screwdrivers.

One bottle of rum, one of Gin and one of Calvados.

Maxton GP10 shock

Raceface Chester and Grippler in the limited edition Forest Green colour. Just need the bike now.

A new caravan air awning. It's the dogs danglies but it is the size of a small marquee .

Dog food. So exciting.

Photo etch cockpit details
Resin ejection seat
Resin jet exhaust covers
Wax pencil (if you buy a specific model one they are expensive, buy a craft one and you can pick one up for cheaper than chips!)
Balsa wood poles

All for my up coming models that I'm going to build
