Have 2 bikes, need to get a rear shock C-Spanner for either one (or both if possible):

- 87 FZR400 (mono shock)
- 86 SRX400 (twin shock)

And before you mention "just use a ........ to punch them round", realize that yes I can do this - but prefer using the right tool for the job. Even prepared to pay for it.

Are they not called g spanners, or are they two different types?

Yep - sucks not having factory tool kits with bikes.

Have emailed both CKT, Motomail and Haldanes........Red Barron bluntly told me they can't get them.
If I hear from no one will be ringing around on Friday.

Many of the engineering suppliers sell them. I have one that is adjustable in the 35-75mm range, have owned it for decades. It just has a hinge in the back and the hook can move in and out quite a bit.

I've seen them sold at Cycletreads, dunno about the range or whatnot.

Your best bet is trade tools in Penrose. They have a big range of C or G spanners in stock,--Just walk in straight to the back wall and they are right in front of ya
