Thing is, what is that allen key actually for? Did we establish this?
Obviously it's for something.
p.s - no offence taken Owen. |

I haven’t an Allen key in my Hawk toolkit but different bars on that,6mm key needed on SD bar clamp.Never taken much notice of the spanners in the toolkit but don’t think they were plated in any of my old Hondas.Will havea peek at me Burgman spinners and see if Suzuki plate them

Honda and Suzuki spanners of the 70's and early 80s were made in the same factory just with a different Logo I think

They took the steer from Norton, Triumph, Royal Enfield and BSA
All the clocks made by Smiths, the electrics by Lucas and tyres by Dunlop
