I have an 06 VFR and want remove the center and outer baskets for inspection amd maintenance. The Honda shop manual states that honda tool 07724-0050002 (pictured) should be used to hold the basket for the un/reinstall of the 90lb torque center nut. This tool costs $150.00 +. I have found these 2 tools made by Tusk and Bikemaster for less than $30.00 each and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. I know you can also put in transmission in gear and press the rear brake but would rather use the tool as recommended. The fist pic has the Honda tool on top of the three tools, the second is the Bikemaster tool and third is the Tusk tool. Appreciate the help.
It takes extra hands but if you put the clutch back in and press on the disc pack, apply the rear brake while in gear you can get it done but it does requires help.
