Stuck

[OscarIndia]

Sticking a headlight guard/glare shield on the bike (08 GSA). This one happens to be an Alt Rider one.
All v simple up to the point when you need to hold the nuts ready to receive the two screws which hold the screen back in place after you've slid it back upright (the two centre bottom ones)
Unless you've got the hands and arms of a 1980s Ethiopian famine victim, there's no way you can hold those nuts flush with your fingers - two sets of steel bars and an instrument unit in the way. My wife (who's a fookin' Sz8) can't do it either. Also tried three different varieties of socket wrench but the angles through the bars don't help.
Is it like Homer Simpson? "The fingers you are using to dial are too fat...please apply for a keyboard masher"

And before anyone shits a brick, I'd like to point out it'll go - probably with masking tape and a guitar finger extender, just pointing out that it's a stupid piece of design. Carry on.

Agreed - been there myself, but fixed the issue with a variable angle socket extention

Six weeks off the smokes is what's killing me. I'd have say on a box. Had a fag. Looked at the bugger and had an idea.
To get the same effect I had to walk down to the pub and sink a Guinness

Now on.
