Don’t order item #2. It’s a sandwich bag Honda charges $4 for! (owners manual bag).

Just imagine: The CB1100 Forum could sell "CB1100 Owner's Manual Bags" for less than half that price and still be in the black.

Just wait until you get into the wet threads / dry threads discussion with people after you have bought your Torque wrench. ( hint like a small oil thread)

I know this is an old post, but just to throw a monkey wrench in to the works, you do know there are torque wrenches calibrated in a) FOOT pounds, and b) INCH pounds, right? I learned this when doing the clutch on my Sportster. Oh, and my Model T Ford friends (the really OLD ones) tell me a Monkey wrench is the smaller version of a Gorilla wrench. I'll let you work on that for awhile.

A note to myself: I need a tool to shut a leaking petrol tube, when removing a tank.

Some sort of rubber tube, which I can quickly put on, and stop it leaking.
Btw, this is a toolkit I care with me

Look on-line for a used hemostat. These are the clamps that surgeons use and they look like scissors, but not sharp. Excellent for that purpose.

I have some tools that will save you guys a LOT of space and weight. I'll take some pics when I get in my garage....

Hemostats are all over Amazon and are cheap.

I’m sure the ones doctors use are not cheap, but IDK.

I have plenty from when I was a medic & EMT in the Army.

...they probably weren't the cheapest either.

hemostat would work on rubber tubes. The only I’m talking about is a fuel pump, metal tube coming from a tank.

Ooops, sorry. Yup, hemostat won't work on that.
