If you have a Tractor Supply store nearby, they sell big sockets cheap, also harbor freight. I would cut one of theirs down and make the tool that grndpndr described out of a cheap socket too cause after all, you probably wont need it many times.

If its the tranny shaft nut, I went to the pawn shop and bought the size socket I needed for about three dollars, I cut the socket in half and welded a peice of 1 1/4 pipe about 5 inches long back inbetween the two peices and had a socket that would work for next to nothing.

You're welcome, glad I could help out a fellow biker. I hope you get your bike fixed and you're in the wind real soon.

Be safe.
