I bought a castle/steering head socket from GB for my FJR...
Top quality tool... Very fast shipping.
They have a website... that's were I ordered from GB Motorcycle Products

The six lug socket definitely will not work, and the other one is too small. But thanks for offering!

Anyway, it's all moot now. I chose the path of least resistance and hit the "Buy Now!" button. It'll be here in a week or so.

Thanks everyone for the ideas and advice!

Can't believe none of us could find a Canadian outlet that would carry that...? :unsure:

There isn't one.

I did my fair amount of searching when I needed one for my Suzuki Tractor.
Believe me, I am not shy to spend dozens of hours looking for something if I want it bad.

The UK option is the best option.

Suzuki actually has the part at an OEM part but its stupid expensive for what it is.
Not sure about Guzzi.
 
Sometimes its best to just get the right tool.
Now you have it for next time... or the next time someone starts a thread looking to borrow said tool... YOU can be the hero. 😀

Different sizing means we're all going to have the right tool... only for our specific bike...

We should start a tool Library.
Many forums of bike air cars have one .

How do they solve the problem of that one (or more than one) guy that never returns tools?

So annoying...

That's above my pay grade.

I suppose a deposit can be set for each tool. Probably it's replacement cost.
