Pin Spanner

[Wagonpeddler_imp]

Looked at the anemic selection of tools that came with the CB. Missing the pin spanner for rear shock adjust (among others). Partzilla has this for $20. Is there an aftermarket wrench that would work? Is there a certain measurement needed for the CB rear shocks?
Thanks

I bought a full set of different sizes from Amazon recently for $24. Came in a nice roll case. Just search "motorcycle pin spanner".

I use a parrot-nose pliers...if I'm feeling particularly fastidious, I wrap a shop rag around the top of the shock.

@Waggonp., If you like, I can send you the "exact" shape of the original wrench (if you do not have it). From there you take a flat piece of metal (~ 2/16 inch flat sheet) and cut your own tool in the garage.

WagonPeddler -- I found these on E-bay. 2 for $5.59. Seem to work just fine.

Hopefully, I didn't just post a link to my private account, but if so, I guess wrenches are on me!

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OPPS! I did just post a link to my private account, so had to delete it. Sorry guys, no free shopping today!
It's basically what J3gq above suggested -- just stamped out of flat bar stock. And there were several other options suggested for under $10. I think I bought these about a year ago.

It's not cheap, but I've used it for over 40 years, and it has replaced all other hook spanner/pin wrenches. It is large enough to use on most single-shock bikes, but thin enough to use on steering head bearing lock rings.

A replica tool sold by Tucker/Rocky and "made" by Bikemaster is available on Amazon for $30.
