aux\passing light socket
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!

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.
