Can't find it cheaper on there than Northern Tool. I'm still a little reluctant about the fit. When you are torquing to 221 ft. lbs. that socket better fit snug or you will round off the edges pretty quick.

Thanks

Got my socket from Northern in the mail today. I Retorqued my wheels and it didn't even take the paint off the nuts ,worked great . Nice to know if I get a flat , I can get it fixed anywhere and be back on the road.

That's good news, I will test mine out Friday. I think this is a must to carry on the Ryker because no shop will have a socket that big. Well, except maybe a Big Rig Truck shop and then maybe not.

Tire repair shops------------I wonder if they have a 3/4 ' drive 250 lb torque wrench. and Im sure they wont have the can am recomended tires.????
I think a dealer might be the only place for tire repair.

Sometimes I' m 200 to 300 hundred miles from my nearest Dealer. My 250 lb. torque wrench is 1/2 in. drive so I have a 3/4 to 1/2 reducer on my socket. Most tire shops around here do truck and tractor tires so I'm sure they would have a 250 lb. torque wrench. If not I could get it close enough until I get home , because I torqued my wheels so I know what It feels like. I always retorque my wheels when I have a repair or new tires. I wouldn't expect a repair shop to have a Ryker tire. If the tires not repairable I can just take the wheel to the dealer for a new tire , not the whole bike.
