martyinaustin Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 after my wreck in August, i've become obsessed with "field fixes" for the 2 things that really made my 40+ mile ride home difficult. my gear shifter pedal and my driver foot peg (left side obviously) got hosed. i'll post a pic below. anyway...i was able to shift by digging my toe 45degrees under or over the lever if you can picture that and i used the passanger footpeg for my left foot. not graceful, but effective. to the point. wouldn't something like this be cool to latch on to a bent shifter lever and/or a broken footpeg assembly as a quick fix? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOWELL-PATTERN-HAND-VISE-WIRE-WORKING-TOOL-HAND-HELD-VISE-HOLLOW-HANDLE-DRAWTONG-/190633872335 yeah, i could carry factory fresh replacements but then i'd need more tools, etc...and what if i'm injured? let the "yeah, rights...." begin.... m.

topazsparrow Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I have serious doubts about the staying power of that "vice" You're probably honestly better off with some vice grips like these: http://www.irwin.com/uploads/products/large/the-original%E2%84%A2-curved-jaw-locking-pliers-with-wire-cutter-276.jpg Neither option is very optimal though.
