Thanks Vince, I might take you up on that, it's not for my 1400 but it's could be worth a try.  When I am ready to do the job I will be in contact.

That´s what I have. OK tool, but needs sometimes extra pipe to get more lenght.

It works OK, when you are careful and set the tips just opposite to each otfer (180 degrees).

Would do that if I had any old plates but clutch is fine, I just need the basket off to change a spring behind it.

bought one and finally used it yesterday, it worked fine, only problem was it's a bit short so I had to support it on the footrest so I could torque up the centre bolt but it's fully adjustable and did the job well.  Only £13 delivered and should fit all bikes.
