F800 spark plug wrench & other tools? AdvDesigns tool sizes?

I'm putting together my own portable tool kit for my F8GS, but I'm not 100% sure on all the fastener sizes.

For starters what size spark plug wrench do I need for the F800?

Also, anyone have the AdvDesigns tool kit? I'd be curious to know the sizes of all the attachments in that kit. I already own most everything (I think), I just don't want to carry stuff I won't need.

I've got it, and am happy with it. It's not cheap, but it's great to know that you've got everything you need (except wrenches/bits for any after-market farkles) with you, and since it lives under the seat, it won't take up any luggage space.

David,

Can you give me the sizes of all the tools contained within?

Correction: it's actually 5/8" or 16 mm! Had me going though...

Don't forget some method for removing the plug cover/cap. I found that quite complex first time I had to do it. The AdvDesigns kit has a wire loop, but you could use just about anything.
