Kurt,

The one in the tool kit is to be used after the nuts have been removed in the recent past, lubed up with never-sieze and are fresh. You will not get the nuts off with the wrench in the tool kit if the bike has been ridden for a while, you need the extra leverage. This one is almost 2 foot long, so a lot easier.

Play with the bike and you probably do not need the upgrade, but they can be found for a reasonable price and it just makes the front end look better having dual disks up front. They were an option on most of the bikes of that era, but shipped stock with the single disk for a year or two until BMW decided to make them stock across the line.

Will PM you with something.
