What is the size of the allen key to remove the front wheel?

Is it 12mm?

K4 Pointy Faired

Many thanks in advance

Yes, that's what I did too, has anyone put a tool to it just to make sure.
Thanks again.

Got a 1/2" drive 12mm allen key from Halfords.

About £6 though, but perfect for the job

Thanks but it wouldn't be any use on my Pointy. For the record it's 12 mm.

In the end I didn't need anything as I just removed the forks from the bike without taking the wheel off.

And put them straight back on.

Anyone got a set of GSXR Yokes... that aren't bent to F***.

Oh and a Mudguard that isn't for a Radial bike would be nice

where did you get the yokes from?? How are they bent? You could get them straigtened by motoliners.

Ebay - Guy has really good feedback so quite puzzled.
7 - 8 mm out for the lower. 4 - 5 mm out for the top. Is it worth it, or just keep lookig on ebay.
