The best tool for those big lockrings is a fire hose spanner. If you can't
find a supply near you, try:

www.galls.com

They sell Police and Firefighting stuff. For about ten bucks you can get a
folding one.

Subject: Anyone have a source for specialized tools?


 My Ambassador arrived to me without a tool kit. No big deal as I had
a bunch of cheap (but functional) tools laying around that I packed up for
roadside emergencies. My problem is that I need a lock ring spanner for
the
 exhaust nuts, steering head, etc. I have been unable to find what I am
looking for by doing searches on the net. Looks like as close to what I am
looking for is found in bicycle shops to be used on bottom brackets. I am
looking for a somewhat heavier duty one than that. I borrowed one from my
neighbor before I was about to take a hammer and punch to the exhaust
nuts,
 but want to purchase one of my own. I don't remember ever seeing one for
sale in tool sections of local hardware or tool type stores. Any
suggestions?
