Royal Enfield supplied spark plug tool

Hi,
Most will know that the spark plug tool supplied by Royal Enfield for the Indian Royal Enfields is as useless as tits on a bull. If a rider is not aware of this and tries to use it on the road, when he has to remove the spark plug for some reason, he will be utterly stuffed.
The spark plug pokes up to the top of the tommy bar hole, making it impossible to insert the tommy bar. To get over this I have drilled holes through the flats on the larger hexagon on the other end. It is also only just possible to rotate the tool through 60 degrees before the tommy bar contacts either rocker cover. As I do not want to have to lift the tool of the plug every 60 degrees of rotation and reposition it on the plug I have drilled my holes through every flat on the large hexagon, so I just have to reposition the tommy bar.
