Tricky question really - in terms of each type it comes down to which one you like more.

I prefer the two torque wrench approach. I use a small 1/4" drive click type that goes up to about 25Nm, the other is a 1/2"drive that covers 20Nm up to quite a lot - can't remember the value off hand, but it's way more than I ever need on bikes.

I expect you should be able to find a reasonably priced 3/8" drive that will cover ranges up to something like 40 Nm, which will be more than enough for basic motorcycle maintenance. Oil filter spec is 10 to 12 Nm, drain plug is 25Nm. Brake banjo bolts are around 25Nm I think, wheel axle nuts I forget, but that should cover them.

Pop down to Sears with a couple of nuts and bolts and try a couple out............

Oops, forgot - welcome to the forum! Enjoy your bike and your riding. Post pics in twins chat so that we can admire it!

PPS - a better idea - you for sure are getting a workshop manual for your bike right? Go through that, it should have all the torque specs on a main page tb the front somewhere. See if you can find one that matches all of that - you should be able to. I was doing the 40Nm bit from memory - never a good idea. The filter and drain plug are right 'cos I did those just now.
