Sorry I can't help with the size you need but why don't you try a big shifter?

excuse my ignorance, whats a big shifter?

i seem to recall it being in the low 20's, maybe a 22 or 24mm, i think 30 sounds a little large?

kind regards

That's what I thought you were talking about, an adjustable wrench here in the states.

oh this is a timely thread for me!  ;) How about on a Cb550?  I am up against the same thing.
