MrPulldown, I made the same observation that you did. If I'm careful enough I can pour straight out of the bottle, but the funnel saves you from having to wipe down the frame when you inevitably slip off the filler neck. And as we probably both know, that's a pain, especially once the oil hits the hot headpipe.
I bought the funnel specifically for my Airhead ( R100/7 ) but tried it on my XR as well and was just pleased as punch to see how well it worked. In a way this is no different than my EFN tool that makes filling the fuel tank easier on the pumps that have that springloaded boot on the nozzle.. There is always a cheaper/free way to do things but once you get a chance to use the tool you realize how much easier it can be, that's all. |

lol, this is great! never knew such a device existed! hey, maybe you ougtha make camo funnels too? i use a funnel i found in a junk car once. its long and skinny and fits in all the tight places i need it too! i once seen a "funnel" that ppl used to "Drain" their oil and or oil filter housing. i think it was for the honda 450s? "billy who man funnel" i think it was called? or something. Now that was a neat invention sir! we all know the mess that draining oil can make! i just let mine drain all over the damn place and then wash it off. lol

Back to our regularly scheduled programming
Notwithstanding the above digression, I'm still trying to share the beauty of a great tool. Namely these funnels, which are not only handy but also extremely well made, here in the US of A.
They are still $6.50 plus $3.00 for shipping up to three funnels, anything above that will be actual shipping cost rounded up to the nearest dollar. (I will gladly combine funnel orders with the fuel tool if anybody is interested) Thanks for looking, now buy something, would ya ? |

Because of a lag in sales
Maybe this needs to be at the top again to get some exposure.
I've got too many funnels for home use. Speaking of which, you don't have to use these in the garage only, they work great in the kitchen as well. I've been selling them at the Long Beach, CA motorcycle swapmeet, if you're local you can save three bucks on shipping. |

Nobody showed
Well nobody from ADV showed but still had a good day.
It really helped to have my R100/7 there to show how well the funnel and fuel tool works on a bike. What was quite interesting though was how many people wanted to know how much for the bike, I didn't expect that. I'll be there again next month, with the same deal. So you have almost a month to prepare. Kai Ju screwed with this post 01-18-2013 at 11:56 PM |

Where is everybody ?
So I've been at the Long Beach Swapmeet every month and nobody's flipping me off.
I've sold plenty of funnels tho, just not to inmates I've have a fresh batch coming. Either pick one up at the swap meet or order one here, your choice. I don't care either way, as long as you buy one.... |
