These are the tools I bought and made for working on the forks.  The spanner is a copy of an official Honda one a friend loaned.  The hook is to compress a spring using a wratchet strap to remove/install the custom nut they have on one end. The brass color collar is a seal install tool from ebay.  Some of the outsized sockets are needed esp for VTXtreme's triple tree kit, didn't note which ones (sorry bout that) - might have been in my tools already.

The part number is 07VMA-MZ0010A. If you do a web search you will find some for sale. I saw some on eBay. Around $65. I made my tool for the triple tree nut as suggested above, however I do not weld, so I bought the for tool for the left fork. I would loan you mine, but my son is using it presently.
