79 GL1000 plug thread size

[Hook#3287]

Hey guys.  I know this isn't a Valk ? but the collective knowledge here is unbeatable.

I'm thinking of buying a 79 GL1000 that doesn't run.  That isn't what concerns me, cause being a Honda, I'm sure I'll get it to run.   What I need is the plug thread size so i can do a compression test. I have a gauge but the only thread socket is for a car.

Any ideas on where I can find the right socket and or just the size.

It takes a D8EA NKG according to Dillion Bros fische.

Thanks;

Bill
