    Really embarrassing question but I’ve googled for weeks and purchased several slim sockets but I still can’t gay one thin enough to be wide enough to fit the plug?!
    I’m sure there’s a rediculously obvious answer?

    I'd be more worried about those push rod tubes.
    Are you Joe Kenright?.

     No? I’ve removed the covers and slid them down for access

    Ok, fair enough. Right size spark plug tool must be available somewhere.
    Even if you get one with the right size for the plug but too fat to fit in the outside, then grind it down so it works.

    Thanks, yeah that was my next move, I was just wondering if I was missing some trick

    I reckon you would have better luck with a tube spanner the right size, you know like what you use on lawn mowers or the like, just a thought anyway.

    Great idea! I’ll grab some. I honestly thought this would be a really common issue

    Not a common issue as you don't come across dual plug heads very often !
    Looks to be a 10mm plug, a jap bike plug socket should work.

    It’s about 21mm 13/16. 
    It’s supposed to be an evolution engine in an 88 tour glide classic
