%^&%$#$ you go find me a 20mm allen! If it were that easy to find, I would have already done that and called it a day!!! LOL

Home Depot and Loews don't carry what I need in that size. And I already have a 20mm socket. The allen key is the pain in the ass to find.

Thanks for lookin' and checking. I looked at the MotionPro stuff already. :/

No I don't but if you want to get smart! You can buy a 20mm bolt and a bunch of nuts and then torque it down with a fucking socket and torque wrench! Nyahh!

Just cause I'm black don't make me a monkey... Well, fine go pay a bunch of money for a tool that you'll probably use once in your entire life.... Not to mention that your project must now wait for overseas shipping.... BTW you were right, I didn't bother to read past the first post...

My use of the word monkey had nothing to do with you. It's what I say when I'm not doing something *by the book* or the right way.

Didn't mean to rub you the wrong way. If I did, I apologize.

My project is already waiting on overseas shipping, thanks to quite a few parts that are enroute from Ducati. I'm just impatient. LOL

My toolbox is full of tools that I've used only once. However, quite a few of my friends have used them only once also, so I don't consider it wasted money.

Monkey wrench has nothing to do with what color a person is!

Concerning the origin of its name, this story has been repeated in several publications in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries:

That handy tool, the "monkey-wrench", is not so named because it is a handy thing to monkey with, or for any kindred reason. "Monkey" is not its name at all, but "Moncky." Charles Moncky, the inventor of it, sold his patent for $2000, and invested the money in a house in Williamsburg, Kings County, where he now lives.[1]

In his interesting article upon the genesis of machine design, Mr. W.H. Sargent spoke of the slide which moves up and down in the handle of a monkey wrench as resembling a toy monkey, and thereby drew an analogy. To this Mr. H.E. Madden writes: "The wrench is not named from this, neither is it so called because it is a handy thing to 'monkey' with. The right name is 'Moncky.' Charles Moncky, the inventor of it, sold his patent for $2,000, and invested the money in a house in Williamsburg, Kings County, N.Y., where he afterward lived.[2]

I had to buy a 3/4" nut/bolt combo to actually fit inside the GSXRs from wheel to prevent it from spinning when I needed to get the front axle and wheel off.

Because no one makes a 1" or equal measurement allen head either.
