A SAT phone might be a good idea.

 John if he is riding back to Alaska through BC I'll bet that there are few recovery places or even cell service along the majority of the route.

I am gathering stuff for my fly & ride trip in June and among many projects will be replacing the tires & tubes.
I am putting together a tool kit...
What size wrench(es) do I need for the nuts on the front & rear axles?
(yes I have the standard 8-17mm wrenches & sockets)

Thanks!

Rather than take everything you need to repair the bike including a service manual why not take a breakdown recovery card and a phone and just enjoy the ride.

John.

Well if you want metric you buy an adjustable SPANNER... if you want SAE, you buy an adjustable WRENCH... :o

You should cut it off in the middle... That way you'll still have both ends :)

Blast!
I can only source a 320mm モンキーレンチ
Maybe if I cut the end off it will fit...
Does it matter which end I wonder?

Crescent wrench? Do they make a metric version?  ;)

According to Google, you want a  モンキーレンチ (Monkīrenchi)    ;D   If you can find one,  It should fit the metric nuts better...  :o

So, I guess that means you need a 254 mm  モンキーレンチ, to be exact....

254 mm

Thanks Troll and Bucko, I will be prepared.
I was aware of the fender removal so no surprise there.
I have a Honda VTX1800 so I am used to the lifting challenge.
