You'll probably need two if you want to cover the full range, i.e. rear hub down to sidecasing nuts.

I use a Norbar torque wrench that's rated from 5 - 45 il ft which covers most jobs.

I doubt you will get one that will the full range from back plate to rear hub. Recommend two, a 3/8 drive for smaller engine stuff and a 1/2 drive for the rest.
Just that little bit quicker BB

I use a beam type torque wrench which can be used in both directions,good for torquing the flywheel nut.

Beam type are best, but they don't look as cool. Wish I still had mine.

By beam do you mean the square for the socket knocks through the head of the torque wrench?

Does this work on l/h threads and will I need to sell my scooter to buy it?
