At last finally got it:cheeky1:
bTW it is a pic of a home made swingarm tool for torqueing the swingarm pivot nut up on my Gl1200 which i needed to replace the old corroded s/arm last year it is made of a 32mm socket and a bit of steel bar with an old 1/2" drive socket welded on for the torque wrench to fit in, the end of the big socket has been ground away to provide four lugs to locate on the nut, a piece cut off an old 10mm allen key is passed through the socket to hold the center bolt while the nut is tightened up, you can torque up the center bolt by fitting a 10mm socket to the outer end of the allen key section.
Hope this is of some use to you fellow wingers out there.:waving:
