    Please can anyone help me. I have a tool kit with my 1993 vfr750 but seem to be missing the chain adjusting tool??
    I know I can buy one but they seem to be very over priced for what they are. I am able to make one but need some sizes etc. Can someone with one of these tools scan it on a printer/scanner and email me it to me. This way I will have a scale image which I can take sizes from.
    If someone is able to do this please let me know and I will let you know my email address.
    Thank you Guys
    Neil

    It's just like a hook wrench. I bought one from a bicycle store (used to tighten the ring nut on the crank of bicycles) to tighten the steering head bearings of an old Suzuki.

    I bet it would work on the VFR hub -abt. 8 bucks IIRC

    An old style shock adjustment spanner will work too

    Don't know if they sell "Motion Pro" tools over there, but if they do, this is what I use, it is billed as a dirtbike shock adjustment tool. Check out their website to see if they have a distributer over there. Or try a local KTM dealer and ask what they sell to adjust shocks. It will likely be much cheaper than the honda part, and a whole lot easier than making one.
