    Can anyone make this for me?

    Its a 8mm ring spanner (just the ring bit) welded at 90 degrees to a 400mm long T-Bar.

    Its a tool which, in theory, can be used to reach the bleed nipple on the abs front power unit, without the need to remove anything except the left mid fairing. I understand that on 2012 models onwards, it could be passed through the gap in the fairing.

    I have the hose which would be pushed onto the nipple using long reach (400mm) offset pliers.

    Just a thought.

    Wondering if it would be easier to route a metal brake hose from the nipple to an area that is accessible.

    Obviously needs to be done right though, don't want that bad boy working it's way loose!

    I think I have it lads. I have ordered an 8mm crows foot socket spanner which fits a 3/8s extension; hoping it does the trick.
