Make the job a hell of a lot easier.

Well now you have gone and dunn it. I just bought one.

Oh well, at least there will be one available in the West

My only thought is that the tension on the swingarm bearings needs to be maintained while doing up the lock ring. The "official" Honda tool has a side extension which allows that, whereas this tool doesn't.

I purchased a copy of the original Honda tool from that same ebay shop that has the extension and also the 17mm hex tool with it.  Just take a look under Honda in their shop.  The extension on the tool has only been tack welded on and is a bit weak as I bent mine undoing the lock nut.  I am going to take mine into work and weld it up properly once I recover from my accident and am back on my feet so I can put the swingarm back in and put the bike back together.

Just bought it, thanks for the link. I will take it in and braze the extension to the socket. Should hold then!!
