it's a good thread, I was unable to find the $15 socket on J&P Cycle so I ended up spending $40 for a used Snap-on Tools FRX181 3/8" Drive 6 Point Fuel Line 9/16" Flare Nut Socket on fleabay.

One of these days , when it's -40 , I'm going to go into the shop and make one of these . It's not something you use everyday , but when you need it , it sure does save you a lot of head aches . Good post , no matter how old it is .

Just remember that when you use that open side socket that the passing light power wire will get wrapped up in the socket. A quarter turn of the socket, then reset, will do the trick.

Thanks guys. I just installed the custom passing lamp brackets...without a slotted socket it's gonna be tough to tighten!

During the light bar install I was able to make the nuts med tight by using a deepwell socket and a big vice grip. I simply ran the wire thru the socket and turned the big wrench a little bit. I knew it wasn't optimal and didn't try very hard, just tight enough hold them in place to get them on the bike. With the $40 socket on the way, I'll now be able to fine tune those aux lights with their new CD LEDs.

The 107 is running very well, but I haven't put more than 350-400 miles on it. Weather's nice now, but with 2 small kids and a busy job not much free time.

FM did a heat cycled dyno break in, said it's ready to ride. I don't think I've revved it out much as I haven't bumped the rev limiter yet...the torque is pretty fun though. 113/123 are nice numbers, it's about 30-35% greater than the Stage 2 96, but not such big power that it's overwhelming.

I know this thread is almost 4 years old but along with other, I struggled to find a tool...

I found a cheaper tool that will work, for under $20. It's sold by Memphis Shades. It's a 9/16" Open Side Deep Polished Socket (PN# MEM0993).
