Two thinks you can do.

Cut down a allen key

OR

If you have a garbage disposal, the installation stool should look like this.


It is the same size as the allen key needed for the intake manifold bolts, 1/4 inch.

"i" went to hex head bolts ...

Easier to TORQUE ...

Easier to safety wire ...

"BUT", in your case a piece of 1/4" allen wrench, a long flat 1/4" box end wrench and you have made your first BUELL tool ...

If you got the one with a box end on both ends, a coupler nut and a torque wrench you can torque them ...

Cut the 1/4 allen wrench about 3/4" long and use box wrench as above. I use for when really stuck!

Any Ace hardware should have them. I still recommend the American Sport Bike one. It has a ball-end on one side so it does more.

Agreed.
Mine was a free, it should already be under your sink if you have a garbage disposal, quickie...
