Okay, I've been searching high and low for a torque wrench with a 1/4" drive that reads in inch/lbs so I can check/adjust valve clearance. I've had zero success with this
Any shot that a person could use a 3/8" drive torque wrench and get 3/8 drive sockets? Would there be room to work still? Am I gonna be able to even find the metric sockets I need in 3/8 drive? Am I gonna need a prescription for lithium soon?

I got a 1/4" torque from Harbor Freight. About $30.00. I have pretty good (Craftsman) 3/8" and 1/2" that have been ok for my limited use. The oriental one from Harbor Freight will do for the dozen times or so times I will use it. Even if it is not as accurate as it should be all the bolts will be tightened the same, so hopefully no warpage.

[dsn_klr650] headlight upgrade (walmart brand?)

If knowledge is power, I shall soon be powerful! I work the midnight shift
out in the middle of nowhere in Southern New Mexico. Goin' to work entails
passing through seriously poor construction where the lines are impossible
to see. Top that with the possibility of encountering wild "do-do's"
(dogs/coyotes, a friend of mine's 2 year old calls dogs "do-do's", and the
possibility of "speed-bumps" (i.e. rabbits and hares).
Treacherous if hit at highway speeds.
And don't forget the antelope, African oryx (I kid you not!) and a
cornucopia of the worlds worst drivers (New Mexicans)!
