RE: Tools you'll need
OK...so I'm getting a torque wrench. Mainly to prove I'm a man. Might opt for a mid-quality version to prove that I'm a man who can at once recognize quality machining and a good value. Sears opens at 10

Just wait until you get into the wet threads / dry threads discussion with people after you have bought your Torque wrench. ( hint like a small oil thread)

They're on sale at Sears, so you got that going for you, which is nice.

Ferret you may want to add the size for the Front Fork Top caps which is 24 or 25 mm if you can find it in the manual - I used a high quality adjustable wrench .

Thanks

Interesting. Apparently if you grind .020 to .030 off the end of a phillips it will do a better job on Japanese screw by going deeper into the slot.

Thanks for the education ridesalot!

Question about JIS screws and drivers: Does anyone know whether old 1960's era Hondas used JIS screws for the side cases? I am doing some long needed projects on my 1967 CB77 (new handlebars, cables, etc.) and I need to pull the side case off. Historically, I used my old trusty Craftsman impact driver with the appropriate sized phillips bit, to break the screws loose.
Thanks, Mike

Yes they did, but your impact driver would still be the best tool for breaking them loose.

Torque wrenches. I've got a few and I've got a torque tester. Friend brought over his Harbor Freight, 1/2", $12 (w/coupon). Couldn't believe how accurate it was throughout the range. Thought it was just a fluke, so off I went to spend $12... it was just as accurate.

Never seen a torque tester. What does it look like and how does it work?

It's a new one on me too.
When I restored my vintage bikes I made good use of an impact driver.
Couldn't have removed the cases without one.

Still rockin', rollin', and ridin' after all these years
