Triumphrat

Did anyone recently purchase a socket or spark plug tool that definitely works for our bikes, and if so could you post me a link. I Just got my second one that I'm not able to use. Bought two already, one was too thick walled, one was too short to use a ratchet. Thanks much.

Thanks Killian, but I got that one from sears, after searching on here...it's not long enough for the ratchet to turn it at all. i feel like it needs to be longer so it clears the cam covers and i can get leverage.

This is the one i bought.

Perhaps you just need an extension to get up past the cam cover.

They come in different lengths. Maybe by a set. You never know when you may have to combine more than one to give you the length that you need.

If you're willing to pay a bit more for a really nice tool, you can't go wrong with this:

Can be found discounted for less if you look around.

I bought an 18mm box spanner and cut it down to just fit under the tank then cross drilled it for the tommy bar and a piece of washing machine hose to grip the insulator...They dont need much leverage as they should be done up tight enough to crush the washer.....
