iv just got my engine back from getting welded and have started taking off the head to replace my gasket- one catch honda have decided to put on a special type of head bolt a - dodecagonal 7mm - its a 10 sided star bolt thats a 5/16 star socket fits but it has to go down a long tube to get to the head of the bot

has any CBR guys happen to have one of these??

You'll probably find that Honda have a special tool, just for that job. If you bend over in just the right way you may be able to persuade one of their mechanics to lend you it (or you may be able to buy one from Honda)

Another option is to give your local Snap-on man a call. they'll probably be able to get one. But it won't be cheap
