Good find! Unfortunately Google/Froogle didn't find me the one that was $2 cheaper!

I know $2 is less than a good cup of coffee, but sometimes one place is out of stock or shipping charges may negate any savings. It's always good to have a backup. And I thought finding a 46mm socket was tough.....55mm??? Dayam

Just when the you think the Ducati has some big nuts, the MV goes and one ups it with even bigger nuts!

I actually found a 6 sided 46mm impact socket on Amazon for like $15. I ordered it plus a 41mm as well.

I'm using the old 2 3/16" on the MV, but maybe I'll get this one. My nut is already marked up though...

Good find.

Good find.

I always put a single layer of electrical tape around the nut then just air gun away at it.

Me too for the tape, until my nut

seized on. Even my Ingersol Rand 3121 would budge it. Finally bought a torch and it came off. Unfortunately, by then the nut was marred.... I'm scared to price a new nut. Anyone had to replace one?

Works great! Perfect fit on the MV 12pt nut.

Just got mine as well. Fits perfectly and a lot cheaper than Crap-On
