Harbor freight has a set that will just about cover everything including the hand levers. Do you a favor and change that crap to nuts and bolts crome or ss.

I had to take the heel raiser footpeg kit back to the dealer this morning. One side looked like the Chinese person polished/buffed the chrome right off the part on the lower front of the foot peg. Now I have a week to wait for a repplacement. While I wait I am going to get some chromed shoulder bolts and replace the shaft/ snap ring ones.

Home Depot had a pair of Channel Locks with different tips. I think it cost $20.00. It has a setting for internal/external.

Sears, like others have said multiple tips and can swap plier direction with the flip of a switch which can help close the gap on older rings.
