Title: toolkit replacement needed...
Post by: mdbHokie on July 26, 2006, 03:44:01 PM
Well, I was riding along today and some of the tools decided to drop out from under the seat.  I'm missing the 19 and 22 in the pic in the link.  Where can I get replacements for these?  I've wrapped the toolkit in a large heavy duty zip lock bag and put a rubber band around it to prevent this from happening again.

Cant see the pic.  But I do know some people have just gotten regualr tools to replace the factory tool kit.  Aslo most dealers / online parts store will have the tool kit, not sure if they sell the pieces individually. ( my spelling sucks )

Tripod won't allow hotlinking. You have to copy/paste the URL into your browser. mdb, I'd suggest you switch up to imageshack, they're free, and better.. :laugh:

As for the tools, you should be able to check your owners manual to find out what sizes those are (I don't know off the top of my head, but I'm sure someone will chime in with that info), and then just replace with some standard wrenches. They may even be 19 and 22 mm wrenches? Just a guess?

Yeah,they are 19 and 22mm.  I'll stop by the motorcycle shop tomorrow and see if I can pick some up.  I have a ton of tools for working on my car, but nothing as slim/small as those in the pic that will fit under my GS seat.

Ahhh.. you might also check prices at sears/wal mart/home depot/lowes.. they don't have to be MC specific, and you might pay a premium if you buy em at an MC shop versus HD or Lowes.. just a thought..

It's missing the C-spanner for adjusting the rear shock.
