    Need to borrow a spanner for rear shock

    Anyone in the Cambridge area have a spanner that would fit a Ducati ST2 rear shock? I called a few dealerships and nobody stocks them. Bought the bike used and no tools were included, and the preload is so soft that if I put on the saddlebags the bike bottoms out over bumps!! I just want to give it a few clicks until I can go buy the wrench. Hopefully TODAY so I'm not bottoming out on the ride home!

    I've got one or two shock spanners, don't know if they fit an ST2. I'm located in Boston, Fort Point Channel.

    Hey Bill!
    Figures the only person who would pony up an offer is someone I know.

    I managed to find one after a bit of riding around. At a Harley dealer of all places...$12 OTD. Of course they had a chrome one for $100

    Yes, heading to PEI in a couple of weeks. Good excuse to upgrade from the Ninjette
