It's a stand for rebuilding shocks. PVC is cheap, non-marring and easy to hose off. There's different bits and pieces made to hold certain things like valve stacks or pistons. Tried to find a pic of it in use, but I've broken a couple phones since I built that stand 😁

What did you do in your garage today?

Screwed together some OSB scraps to finally make some compartments to better organize the space under my workbench.
Then forgot I draped this thing here while reorganizing the shop, turned around and scared the fucking soul right out of myself.

Locals tried to get me to do snake duty while they fished. Fortunately a few told me about running out of ammo trying such adventures.Screwed together some OSB scraps to finally make some compartments to better organize the space under my workbench.

Put together a new Thule bike rack for my ebikes.
Old rack required the batteries be removed and it was a PITA to use:

Installed a 1 /14" receiver, really closer to 1 3/8", to the wall to hold the new Tule bicycle rack out of the way.
Not as tight as I wanted, but will do the job and keep it out of the way.

Messed with charging my Super Tenere's battery a few times as some dummy left the key on Thursday night when he got home from work. I think it is still good for now.
Picked up new tires, thought I'd strap them a little further forward to see what riding with a back rest might be like. Shockingly uncomfortable. Every pothole rebound punches you in the spine, not in the normal way, and luggage rack vibrations transfer right in to you.
My kidneys feel very alive at the moment 😁

Looked for, and found in the warehouse/garage, the wing nuts for the storm shutters at the office since we are in the eye of a possible hurricane next week... We lease and the landlord already called if we needed anything to close the building.
The house has accordions and they were checked last spring so IF needed they'll operate just fine. Going to be riding this weekend anyway...
@ JimVonBaden I am surprised you didn't get the 1UP rack... https://www.1up-usa.com/product-category/bike-racks/ No wrenching needed and mine is going on 12 years....

I looked at them, but they don't make a 1 1/4" receiver, and they cost twice as much.
Prepping for an upcoming trip so spending more time in the garage.
Swapped brake lever for a shorty to clear new hand guards.
Flipped the brake hose guide to clear the hand guard bracket.
Test fitted the hand guards... getting closer to fitting!
R&R'd the bent brake pedal and adjusted it.
Stripped the plastics off for overall cleaning, inspection and a few other items that need to be done.
Sorted gear in bins based on the categories of my packing list spreadsheet. Including a bin of pruned and possible items that I can't/shouldn't take.
Someone's trying to figure out why the hell I'm laying on the ground...

The Honda tool kit pliers and the JIS screwdriver were compact and good quality. Still have them both, but the bike is long gone...Yesterday I was gathering stuff for my upcoming SC trip and ran across these, hadn't seen them in a few decades
I've got a piles of Honda marked tools scattered here and there. Toolkit tools usually end up scrapped or made in to something else, but never could bring myself to kill a Honda tool for some reason.Yesterday I was gathering stuff for my upcoming SC trip and ran across these, hadn't seen them in a few decades
Mazda 6 series (?).
I got a text from him a couple of hours later saying thank you for my help, and the driver's seat works again
