    Those cheap C-spanners / wrenches back in stock

    I noticed the seller had run out of them, but they've reappeared now. I suppose he gets a regular supply.
    I grabbed a couple of them right away.

    do they have any other application other than R shock adjustment?
    1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
    1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
    1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice

      Not really. Other than similar "slotted collar" fittings.

          Steering head nuts are often a pegged type. Anyone who doesn't have a crescent spanner is doomed to using a blunt screwdriver or chisel and tapping it with a hammer. It works, but it's butchery and bodgery, and you don't get the same feel for the tightness it should be.

            good to know. for those applications, the one in the OEM tool kit should do fine.
