Where to buy Harley specialty tools??
I need an 02 bung socket and Harley won't sell me one!
I'm going to need other Harley specialty tools as well,because
I'm the only one thats going to work on my Harley.
I have no idea where to get them, I've been wrenching
on Kawasaki,Suzuki,Yamaha and Honda for 40 years and
I have no problem getting any of their specialty tools at all.
There must be a way to get the Harley tools listed in my
factory Harley service manual, I just don't know what it is?
Thanks for any help guys.

RE: Where to buy Harley specialty tools??
I guess my first question is what is a bung socket.
I know what a bung is on kegs and 55 gal drums etc.
Most so called specialty tools in the front of the HD service manual
have a part number, and a dealer should sell it to you.
Also, most of thetools can be purchasedor be gotten in the after market
from auto supply houses or snap-on or mac tool and such.
Some can be purchased from most any after market catalog.
I made my own tc88 piston pin puller and presser from all thread rod, couple washers
and a pipe nipple.
I did that because the remover / installerI bought did not fit the tc 88.
Only said it fit MOST all HD pistons.
The specialty socket for the nut inside the front turn signal /running light can be made from a cheap 6 point deep well socket. Just use a die grinder to cut a slot in side of socket.
the stepped plastic tool for the cam chain or the primary chain can be made out of old big truck mud flap rubber.

My 2004 Touring model Service Manual says all tools must be ordered from Kent-Moore, 28635 Mound Road, Warren, Mighigan 48092-3499 Ph # 1-800-345-2233. "All tools mentioned in this service manual with HD or J prefix must be ordered through Kent-Moore" Direct all mail orders and general correspondance to the address above.
