Thanks in advance.
That's all I got with my Canadian model too, but the dealer ordered all the missing items and I got them free of charge.

Thanks for the great list. I was just about to post a thread complaining about the under-seat stock tools (no shock spanner wrench? c'mon Honda...) but this list will make shoring up my toolbox easy and relatively painless.

I guess I need a torque wrench for the fork pinch bolts in order to install my new Superbrace. I do not own a torque wrench. Recommendations for brand, style, etc.? Anyone?

Dont really need a torque wrench Sea, just snug them up, rotating as you tighten so you don't bind anything.

I agree with the ferret, but if you just want one, and who could blame you, I've had great luck with this [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=584&pid=12840#pid12840]inexpensive click torque wrench in light duty use on my CB for over three years now.

All men should own a torque wrench, Harbor Freight if going low cost air Craftsman are two options. Also Lowes or Home Depot have options

A good torque wrench is buy once cry once. You will then end up using it all the time. Some things MUST be torqued. Some, not so much.

I love the 'click' it makes when you hit the spot.
RE: Tools you'll need - Rolls_imp - 12-28-2016
Yes! The click is the thing! No more craning your neck to read a dial indicator. My cheap0 new clicker works as well (is as accurate as) as my trusty old Craftsman dial indicator torque wrench, too.
