Engine & Swingarm Sockets Suzuki Hayabusa

Calling all Loco's,

I am about to start stripping the engine out of my Hayabusa in preparation for my build but I don't have the specialised Suzuki tool to remove the engine and swingarm bolts. They cost an arm and a leg from Suzuki, there is a nice chap on eBay that does them for about £65, and it is possible to grind the required castellations into old or cheap sockets to make one's own.

But before I go down that route has anyone out there already got/made some that I might be able to borrow? Perhaps for some beer money?

Let me know, Clive. Rescued attachment Busa Engine Socket.jpg

Thanks John,

I'll give it a few more days to see if anyone out there can help. If not I'll drop you a line and take up your offer.

I didn't know you are a biker! What do you ride? As you probably noticed on the pic by my posts I run a much modified Buell X1 Lightning. Its great on winding tracks like Lydden Hill as it has bags of torque. Can't catch the riceburners on long straights though! Also been riding the Busa but as you know it is about to give its life for the cause!

Yours, Clive
