I have the 24 piece VIM Tools Hex Master Set:
13-pc Metric hex 2mm thru 19mm.
13-pc SAE fractional hex 3/32" thru 3/4".
S2 steel drive bits in knurled chrome holders.
1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" square drives.
Plastic storage case.
Lifetime warranty.
S2 steel, the strongest hardest drivers available
I use it all the time and is well worth the money.

In regard to the axel mount plat I agree with rail, Top-Down Products makes the best one out there and the customer service is second to none.

We do offer just the Axle Nut Kit as an accessory. It comes with a new axle nut, adapter hub and 1/2" button head/washer hardware. This would let you mount your side mount off the axle using the 1/2" bolt, assuming you have at least a 1/2+ hole in the side mount. The link is below.

Default Roto plate

I have the Roto plate with the Axle Kit. Got it from Top Down. Works great!! Easy to install. You have to hide the wire, but thats not a problem.

If you have a 5/8 sparkplug socket,the hex side of it fits perfectly. put your extension thru the socket side, instant rear axle tool.

If its a side mount plate? Find the wire before it goes into the fender then re-route (splice it or cut at the current posiition and pull it out) it by the swing arm to the plate many ways to secure it at various points where it wont be visible...
