Exhaust and Bars..Special Tools?

Going to be doing pipes shortly and hopefully bars (10" Yaffe Monkey Bagger Bars). Any special tools needed for either? Any bolts hard to get that would benefit from some specialty tools?

Thanks guys.

Ive done both , nothing special just allen sockets , regular sockets and take your time especially on the bars internal wiring is time consuming . write everything down the connectors are numbered and wires are colored .

Just did my bars a couple of days ago. Just need to have an assortment of wrenches, allen heads, and sockets. T-handle allen heads are excellent to have, especially getting the bolts out of the radio through all the wiring around it.

Common tools, allen wrenches, 1/2", 7/16" and 9/16" sockets for the exhaust, you should be good to go.

Take your time with the wiring connectors if you go internal... they can be a PITA.

Torque Wrench, General Sockets and spanners and having just changed the exhaust headers I would suggest that HEX sockets for the Hex bolts as the Hex spanner was a pain.
