Motorcycle tools. Help me out. 1974 CB550?

Question:
I just bought this 1974 Honda CB550. I have hardly any tools for it. What do need to get? I hear you need a specific wratchet set to work on these, I'm not shure if it was metric or what. If you know of a set that would be good let me know.

I need to know the size of a bolt that goes on a 2002 lowrider.?


Thanks,

Any bike mechanics in the Hollywood, CA area?

toyracer49 knows, being a tech.
Look under the side covers and seat for the factory tool kit that came with the bike. All my old Hondas were bought used, and they all still had mostly complete kits.
Contents should be:
Screwdriver, flat & #2 phillips
Shock spanner (or pin, depending on model)
Open end wrench, 10 & 12 mm
Open end wrench, 14 & 17 mm
Box wrench, 24 mm
Box wrench, 28 mm
Spark plug socket
Slip joint pliers
Wrench handle extender

If the kit is missing, you can build one with this list. Add a pair of small needlenose pliers for the real tight spots, and you're all set. Pack a tire repair kit too and you can handle ANY minor roadside repair, if you have the knowledge.
Get yourself a manual, and welcome to the open road.

Any Metric socket set - 8mm-17/19mm, metric wrenches (same sizes), and metric allen wrenches will be a good set to start with.

How much will it cost for my first oil change on 2007 harley davidson?

Just go down to Sears and buy yourself a set of metric wrenchs and a set of metric sockets. 8 12 14 17 19 mm tools will do 99% of anything you need. For the axle nuts a good sized adjustable will do nicely. Tools can be addicting, I have mechanic friends with a running account with the Snap-on man, and they have bought some tool weekly for years.

Question on how to attain motorcycle license?

geo46er got it almost right. But he forgot one of the most important sizes. 10mm. There are no 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18mm headed bolts on your bike. But there are lots of 10mm. You'll also need a #1, #2, and #3 Phillips.
