I bought the pro taper triple clamp made by oberg and the six pinch bolts are allen heads and they need to be torqued down, anyone know where I can get a allen attactchment that I can connect to my torgue wrench. I guess I should try home depot first but thought I would ask.
Thanks in advance

hopefully you know the correct size of metric (they better not be sae) allen socket you want. take one of the bolts with you.
get a whole set of them at sears. there are various other parts on the bike that require an allen socket, so a set works good.
like the drain hole for the oil filter is allen head.
so is the clutch cable hold down.
the 2 bolts that hold on the valve cover.
the rear brake guard has 2.
the rear brake bolt.
just to name a few.

Snap-on has some nice ones as well. I paid...well, nevermind. They did not even include a jar a Vaseline. The quality is good, but all hex bits are crap. Dont bother to pay a lot for any of them. They all wear out.

Motion Pro has a cool wrench looking thing for the torque wrenches as well. It is 12mm on one end, 14 on the other. there is a square hole in the middle for the torque wrench. I bought one and use it all the time on my bikes. The size and shape make it creat for cylinders.

Torque down the handlebar pinch bolts???

Wha'chu talkin' 'bout Willis?

You don't need to torque down those pinch bolts, just tighten them as much as you can. You may need a torque wrench for something else, but not the pinch bolts.
