Spark Plug Socket that fits - dual ignition models

Can someone measure the diameter of a spark plug socket that fits the larger of the two spark plugs (the one though center of the valve cover). It needs to be a socket...not the supplied tube that comes in the kit.

They need to be thin-walled enough to not get stuck in the spark plug cavity.

I don't have access to my R1150 GS at the moment to try the ones I have.

Thanks!
 
I had a socket that fits both plugs (1150gs) but was too thick for the hole. So I ground the wall down with a rotary tool. Works well for us po' folks.

I have done likewise on my lathe. Problem is, getting the lathe on the plane to take to the socket. Could be costly. :banghead
