Does anyone in the Kitchener Waterloo area have a tool for removing fork extender caps that I could may borrow for a few days while I finish a refresh on my fork seals? Its for a gsxr if that matters

Or does anyone know where I can get one?

they should not be on very tight.
why not take the top triple clamp off completely, rotate it and make sure it is clamped only to the extender.
the fork tube itself is still held by the lower triple clamp.
use the upper triple clamp as a wrench. obviously you will have rotated it and clamped it to the cap in such a way that you can loosen the cap 1/4 turn at a time.

Thanks everyone. Since I don't even know the manufacturer of the extenders, I think I am going to try using this tool from Canadian Tire. Its a universal angle grinder disc removal tool

If that canadian tire thing doesn't work out, PA has something similar (up to 1 1/6"). It actually looks less s#itty than the CT one.

Oh perfect. That is the one I originally saw on harbor freight after searching on gixxer.com and figured I'd look for something similar here but cdn tire seemed to be only option
