In the Emgo motorcycle tools catalog were wire twisting pliers. I
just had a thread in alt.home.repair about what these pliers were for
(because I just "inherited" a pair, just like the ones in the catalog)

What do they do with motorcycles?

If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-)

I'm assuming you're talking about safety wire pliers? look here:

The same thing they do on airplanes; keep fasteners from backing out
and for a similar reason. In a car, at least you are inside a metal box
if say; the wheel falls off. Assuming you have any bolts or nuts that
have the required holes for safety wire, they can be secured that way.
If I still rode and was to ride on of those modern 200mph bikes, I
think safety wire and loctite would be my constant companions.

I get it now. I don't think my bike has any bolts or nuts with holes,
so again, I was fooled.

Some day I hope to use my wire-twisting tool, but this will not be the
day.
