I bought the proper Honda one but its expensive! if you want the proper honda tool, rick oliver, david silvers, lings etc will sell it.

The proper tool allows you to not only remove the nut, but also tighten it back again to the specified torque. You cannot do that with a simple tool. Pics: http://vsource.org/VFR-RVF_files/BWorkshopTools.htm.
