Here is a company that manufactures a castellated tool that will remove the special nut that Honda used to secure the swing-arm.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/301011551066?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_264wt_1133
eBay item number: 301011551066
The Ad states that they don't ship to the USA, but they will if you contact them by e-mail & place the order. The e-mail address is: turbosuzukis@yahoo.co.uk
With the money conversion, the part cost me $35.21. That's better than the $60+ that the Honda dealer wants.
Good luck

I'll pass on it. I've ordered one of Kev's from the UK.

Interesting style of tool. I think the UK version of the tool looks easier to use.

Well my VT500 swingarm nut removal tool arrived yesterday. I was shocked at how quickly it arrived. I placed some other orders on that same day for parts located in the USA & they have yet to arrive. The tool looks real nice! Well machined & strong looking, very solid! It's a specialty tool that I probably won't use very often, but when the time comes that I need it, I'll have it handy & at about half the price of the Honda parts dealer.
Thanks Kev for the nice piece of machine work, great price & fast shipping.

Great news! I havent had any luck sourcing the orig. Honda part for less then 91,oo eur!

Hey guys .. I tried to follow the links to order this tool, can't seem to find it anywhere.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be much obliged :)

Looks like he doesn't have anything listed on eBay right now.
I would send a message through eBay to the seller & see if they have any more Ascot tools.

That's what I thought ... but wasn't sure if there was a comparable one that would work. Thanks J
Edit: He just let me know he has some in stock!
-
Good deal!
I bought one just for the hell of it. Figured I'd need one sooner or later. Sure enough, I had to put it to work & it works great.

I think he prefers to do business without having to pay ebay (I don't blame him) so if anyone needs one of these you can reach him at;
Kev Drake <turbosuzukis@yahoo.co.uk>
Note: I checked with him before posting his address :)

Wow ... I'm not sure how, but I received it today. That's 6 days (including a weekend) from the U.K. to Ontario, Canada.
Looks strong... and it fits. Can't ask for more than that ;)

I recall being surprised at how quickly mine arrived.
They are a stout little tool.
