How ignorant can a manufacturer be........16mm???? I put myself through college in the 70's as a Porsche/Mercedes/BMW mechanic. We had a cool Snap On dealer. He would take the 16 and 19mm socket, wrench or whatever out of the "set" and discount us for the removal. It's a ****** that puts a 16mm anything on a bike that wouldn't have a team car in close pursuit, with a mechanic and the required strange implements required to service the machine. 16 and 19mm anything exists as freely in nature as frequently as do chicken lips at Albertson's
