     Does anybody know where I can get a 1 3/8" socket to fit the Fork Tube Caps. I want to change my suspension on the weekend and can't find a socket locally on the central coast NSW. Any ideas appreciated.

     Shouldnt be that tight. Don''t laugh and say bodgie prick but a quick wrap of tape and a large shifter easily did the job.

    Dave thanks for the offer. I was hoping someone might know where I could get one around the Gosford area or Sydney. I'm going to my sons place down near Mittagong on Friday as he has a bike jack down there.
    I've got shotguns for the rear and progressive inserts for the front. If I can't find one I'll resort to the old shifter.
