I need the tool to adjust steering stem bearings. It's only $14 from BellisiMoto, but the shipping costs $25. Any local place that stocks this or similar tool? Not interested in the original Ducati one as it costs over $100!

I think I need to make one of those but I'm also thinking 2 pins might do it.
 
I'm not a mechanical engineer, but the manual calls for 30 Nm torque on this nut. Do you think 2 pin will be enough? The pins are pretty small diameter.
 
29 ft/lbs....pins would have to be stout

did you say, OP, you can get the proper tool for $39 ?
I'd be going that route
 
Fortnine might have it.
 
Fortnine does not have it.
Seems like I have no choice as to order it from US. BellisiMoto is a great store, I ordered several parts from them and never had any issues. What I hate is that the total comes to $40.31 from which the tool itself will cost me $5.31 (with 10% discount and some reward points) and the shipping $35 (almost 7 times more than the tool! My mistake, I thought the shipping is $25). Too bad we have such poor MC parts stores in Canada ... But the good thing is that I always receive packages shipped by BellisiMoto in just 4 days .
 
Maybe try Winners Circle in Markham?

Easy enough to test, just put 40 some Nm onto whatever I make and if it don't break or change in shape and dimension I should be good to go.
 
Ended up ordering directly from MotoMfg. The shipping via USPS First class mail was $3.70. Yes, I know it will take about a couple of weeks to get it, but I couldn't make myself paying 7 times more for shipping than the tool worth...

Hardened dowel pins. 2 probably would work, make one.

I found some needle bearings that are just a little too big, thinking just a couple chunks of metric twist drill shank would do it. Need to find a sacrificial twist drill now lol.
 
I should have maybe suggested this before the OP said he bought one, but I could easily whip a few of these up at work for a minimal charge if forum members gave a demand. I have a duc but havent needed this tool ........yet.
 
The RobStar pin wrench (y)
build it right onto the end of a cheap torque wrench and sell it for a tidy profit.

!@#$%^ just gave away another billion $ idea :censored:
 
Thats a lot of pin wrench sales. Id have better chances of being a billionaire selling cocaine before I could be one selling ducati tools lol.

Ya, it might only be a thosandair idea, but I'm pretty sure it will fit some other bikes too so there is room for at least one more sale ;)

Thank you! I already ordered one, but if you happen to be close to the store and can pick up the tool - I'll definitely buy it from you.

If so just PM me and i'll do the deed for you.
