I could just buy a 4mm wrench but where's the thrill in that? Hoping to take a last ride tomorrow (for the year). Supposed to be 65-deg in Cleveland. Hope my valves don't go out of adjustment on the road suddenly...
Sp correct! You could be right about a lot of them going the same way; no-one responded to my original post to which I linked in my above reply, but maybe now we'll get some answers. And it makes the kit incomplete, I agree; which is why I had one made. And mislaid it!

Adjustment can be carried out with just a thumb & forefinger, but locking the tappet screw at the required point takes several hit & miss attempts.

Big 'arf!'!!

Ed, my kit has that 'T'-type sparkplug wrench -- pull the handle all the way and apply torsion using the 17mm open-ender across the squared box -- but I remember my first CB had the box wrench into which one inserted one of the Phillips shafts as a tommy bar. And the wheelnut wrench doesn't fit them (26mm) either, so that's interesting info from The Oracle. I carry a 26mm hex-ring from the kit that I got with CB when I bought it.

Mine's a (slightly) used Kowa kit that I won on eBay Motors from the US.

Were it not for the 'rear cushion adjuster' C-spanner, my kit would be for a CA95, according the the fiche.

I have never seen a bent wrench, but it makes sense. I am willing to part with the box style and you can bend to suit. Scram64

The top one looks like the picture in my owner's manual. Send me an email, and maybe we can work something out!
