M8 touring, I need to remove the 7/16 bolts that hold the rocker covers on. I thought the TC was tight, but there's no way for me to get any wrench that I own in to loosen the bolts on the rear cyl.
Rocker Box Buddy.
Those are a great idea. Thanks!
I ended up cutting a box wrench in half and bending it to fit that area but it was a PITA. I'm going to buy that for re-assembly.

Interesting looking tool.
Well Ohio, at least this time when you AGAIN forced me against my will to buy yet another tool, it wasn't that expensive.

Ain't that the truth. I needed my wife to hold something I was putting back together the other evening and she was looking around at some tools laid out and asked "what this was for?" and I told her that one did a single bolt on the air intake, she asked about another one which I told her did a different bolt on the air intake.
I just got my Rocker Box Buddy. Based on the weight when I hold it in my hand, it appears to be made out of aluminum. A magnet does not stick to it.
Probably aluminum, less chance of maring the chrome heads on the cap screws.
I've never used an aluminum socket, on steel bolts, before. Poor, is there anything thing to watch out for? What's your experience using aluminum sockets?
No personal experience, but aluminum tools exist for that reason, though most of use will never need them.
