What torque wrench do you recommend for the VTX?
Where is the best place to purchase it?
Thanks in advance. :)

If you're only going to get one, get a good lbs.ft.wrench. A 3/8" drive would be the most versatile. If you can afford it, get a good brand-name wrench. There have been a number of threads dealing with the topic on the VTXOA tech board.

A Dial type lb/ft (circular dial--not the cheap kind with the the long rod) or a click type. Both are serviceable.  Sears has both.  Snap-on, Mac, or other tool/credit dealers are generally too expensive for occasional use.
