1 3/8" socket for fork caps???
I am sure it is on this forum somewhere, but I am tired of looking..I am looking to buy the 1 3/8 fork tube cap socket and don't know where to get it...Not the regular socket but the one special made for the job..also does snapon have one (I have a credit with them right now which is burning a hole in my pocket)..

The socket from Snap-on might be too high.
The socket from J&P is low profile to clear the handlebars.
I have one and very handy.
If your talking about a socket for the caps on the top of the fork tubes, I'm not sure why you would need one unless someone before you torqued them down. The wrench that comes in the tool kit works just fine even if it does fit a little loose.

Just had my front end apart and used the tool kit wrench to break those caps loose.

I got a big combination wrench at one of the cheap tool outlets for around $8 plus or minus a little. Don't have to remove the handle bars when using that wrench.

No way you could do that with my setup...maybe because its a batwing. I didn't get the toolkit everyone's talking about and mine were both on tight. This was to do the fork oil drain and fill job.
