A shock wrench to borrow? Also a key mount to dirt bike handlebars?

[omamari]

Gidday,

Finally got a decent (in my mind) bike. Trying to adjust the static sag for it (needs to be 35mm, currently 55mm).
So I need to wind down my shock ring - but I don't have a proper spanner for that. Anyone have one that I could borrow for a very short time? I don't really want to buy one as I imagine I'll only use it once. I live in Eastern Bays / Kohimarama.

Side note: this bike (07 KTM 450EXC) will be used mainly on road. Anyone have opinions about susp. settings? I'm going to set it to stock for now.

Also, it came up with no key, so I'm going to wire one in. Anyone know where I can source a mount that will fit with my handlebar mounts? I.e like the image attached.

FYI I'm going to be asking lots of questions in the future.

Cheers guys!

Do you need the C spanner, or can you use a screwdriver and a hammer? Just put a rag/towel or something softer on the end of the screw driver so it wont dig into the ring.

Yep as haydes55 suggests, loosen the lock ring and just tap it around gently.
It will move. Maybee lube the threads first with some spray whatever will help also.
Taking some weight off the bike with a paddock stand or ratchet tie down / or rope over a shed rafter may be a good idea too.
