There are 4 hex head bolts at the bottom of the fork tube for tightening the front axle. I was sizing these bolts to buy hex socket bits for my new torque wrench. Well the specs say these bolts are 8mm. To verify size, I put 8mm allen wrench in the bolt head and it is a wobbly fit (like someone rounded out the head with a sae size). Tried aother 8mm wrench ... same problem. Inside of head looks ok so I am baffled. Have any other CB1100 owners encountered this?
