Does anyone sell the deep well 9/16 socket with the side cut out that I need to remove my aux. lights on the front of my RK? I picked up a quick detach fairing and I need to move the lights to the farthest forward hole..... doing research into the job looks like Ill need a cut away socket.... I dont have a grinder to make my own so was wondering if anyone had one they sell to me or if anyone online has them? Thanks!

 

Harbor Freight. They have it all. Not the best but it works.

 

awesome thanks.... I wasnt sure if they would have the cut down socket or not...

 

and if they don't have it...buy a cheap angle grinder & 9/16 socket...

I used a cheap socket - low quality "steel", and cut the groove with a dremel.

I used a Dremel with a cutoff wheel and made one.

 

i used a dremmel to make mine as well ,, you can borrow mine if you wish ,, just pay shipping and return it when finished. you can buy the premade one for around $45 ,, thats why i made one

 

Made mine with a hacksaw cause my dremmel died and I couldn't get one at midnight. Bought a cheapie socket earlier in the day. When your loosening and tightening the nuts only go 1/4 turn at a time or you run the risk of breaking the wires. Ask me how I know.

 

I bought small electric hand grinder at harbor freight for $20. they did not have single sockets and they recommended I go to AutoZone....which I did. Got 9/16 socket for around $5. A few minutes spent cutting and I have a socket. The grinder is not much, but I now have another useful tool, one that won't be used much, but should be handy!

 

I purchased the SnapOn socket from the guy in the white truck. He did offer me a bit of a discount on it. Hey, I like having nice tools and I justified the expense due to the fact I was performing the work myself. (I can justify about anything I purchase lol)
I did at first make a socket like everyone is suggesting, but I found the SnapOn socket easier to use and had less of a chance of breaking the wire since the cut-out was much larger.
