okay, an 18mm deep socket is needed to get the plugs out of a 550.  for some reason 18mm doesn't alway come in a set.  try a deep sae 11/16th.  saved me 10 dollars.

$6 at your local M/C shop  ;D

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Weld a 1/4 drive socket in the end of that and you will never go back to cheap!

Cheap sockets that is... ;D
