Topic: What is this toolset part?

[Slapguts]

Thanks for starting this thread. My bike came with the toolkit still under the seat (owner's manual, too) and I always wondered what the first and last tiems in th pic were for. Handle for the axle wrench. Good to know.

Its a Lobster fork, just in case your out riding and happen across a lobster that needs eating. (The pliers might come in usefull to)

Or the spokes are tightened properly...

Jonesy - In reply #2, jensk replied that it is 8mm...The Honda spoke nipples are 5.7mm...which seems to be a "#3 Nipple Wrench" size...    Edit: Oh, I see!! You're using it as a tuning mallet!!! Yes; good idea!!   

But if anyone knows a source for the 5.7mm Honda spoke nipple wrenches (the ones that look like that tool, or like a tuning fork) please post it...I've done 7 wheels this last year, with another coming this week...and I've been using that stubby little dual-ended universal fit wrench made by "Rowe Products" which always seems to gouge the rim when in use...   

(Heh...I was at the Honda dealer, and the guy behind the counter had no idea what I was talking about...I finally had to go behind him, check the wall, and found a dusty, curled-up old cardboard shrink wrapped spoke wrench that was exactly what I wanted...but the wrong size...)

Hmm... at first I thought this 'BAR B' was just a typo: a clerk at the Honda office had misread an 8 handed to him in handwriting by someone from the workfloor and took it for a B. After all, it's an 8mm wrench, isn't it? But by and by I changed my mind and by now I kind of lean towards Gordon's interpretation, that it is ment for the brake bleeder and then the 'B' makes sense ofcourse: 'B' for brake or bleeder. Only... too bad the bleeder on my model has a 7mm head. Hmm, interesting... To be continued.
Now we are on it, does the '#2' and '#3' in screwdriver denominations refer to an actual size or is it just a ranking order?

Hmm, interesting... To be continued.

Do we have to wait another 12 years?

I don't think the "Bar B" mystery will ever be solved - I started a similar thread years ago and learned that it can be used as an open ended 8mm spanner - I wouldn't try to loosen the brake bleeder with it though!
I have drilled out the holes in all three of my spark plug tools so that my three bar B handles fit through them and can be used as handles...

a good mystery. My " go to" honda expert who's been assembling and dealing with honda's ( and indians) since the 60's doesn't really  know either. It doesn't fit the bleeder valve, and not sure about the tappet adjuster. He used it for the spark plug tool.
