I vaguely remember the discussion in the international forum and also that there was no definitive answer.

Nope, it's too big for the holes in my OEM plug socket.
Question: did early CB500 models ever come with a brake bleeder 8mm head instead of the 7mm on ours?

Seabeowner:
My CB500s need one, my 550F1 needs one, my 1978 550K does not.     ?????

Moorey:
 Well whatever it is it must be very important as it is still put in some Honda tool kits. Its in nearly 500 different kits including quads.  ;D

Charliecharlcomb:
What a wonderful question. I've often wondered the same. I doubt it's in there as a T for the plug socket, I always use the screwdriver attachment.

taysidedragon:
Old Triumph toolkits have a tool almost exactly the same which is for tappet adjustment.  It also has a tyre lever with a square cutout on one end which is for the wheel spokes.
