head bearing nuts
 

ok so i am in the process of a gsxr front end swap and i managed to use a punch and hammer to take the two i guess you would say two star shaped nuts that hold it on. Has any one else done this and i so is there a tool someone made i can see or be able to tell me where i can get one?

I use my trusty nail-with-the-sharp-bit-cut-off. But, you could probably find a c-spanner that would work, or modify a socket. There might be a suzuki service tool for it too.

Yep I used a hammer and a small cold chisel:smt003

Buy an adjustable C-spanner from Hein Gericke. Then you can adjust your rear shock preload as well.
