I know old thread. Not a huge fan of that wrench. I ran mine on a grinder to better clear swingarm.

Also the the hole is for 3/8 drive ratchet/torque swrench. I emailed them, saying you would be using 1/2 drive for axle given the amount of tq. They just can't work for everyone. I also got the wobble socket. A 36mm wrench made of better steel is going to be smaller and better clearance probably. I think about on of those too.


Laugh of this thread besides age, is the guy never says year of bike. These kids don't know it was not always 36mm. TCs were not always even 36 mm.

Removing the lower shock bolts negates the need to remove any slip-ons etc.

He always called it the metric Crescent. Kind of surprised he bought it since he hated the metric system.

Yea, but we're having fun with it!

I'm still looking for left hand crescent wrench, being a southpaw.
