    Picked up this from the Triumph dealership yesterday. The brand name is Bikeservice and it says it’s for a Ducati motorcycle, but fits ours perfectly as it’s a 46 mm socket. It’s actually 46 mm on one side and 41 mm on the reverse side. I got it for $40 Canadian with a bit of a discount. Tried finding one online, couldn’t find one locally, this seemed like a good deal. It fits over the rear wheel nut about 3/4 of the way so it won’t rub the red anodized piece for the rear wheel. I used it last night to take the rear wheel off to remove the chain guard with no issues. I also picked up the oil filter socket.

    Cheaper to pop along to your local tool station.

    I tried but no one in town carries anything that large. The ones I found online we’re going to be a lot more money once you factor in shipping exchange rates etc.

    Yep, sounds about right. Packaging said Ducati but the socket itself is just generic. I’m just glad I found the damn thing. :)

    Awesome. I need to get one of those. I guess I"ll just talk to my local dealer and see what they say. Hopefully the price doesn't go up for US folks.

    If it’s like everything else US pricing is way cheaper

    Yep good advice from all on here in the uk Halfords do a good socket,but it’s actaully a ball joint socket or something like that coloured black works a treat.
