Sparh plugs

Spark plugs bloody hell...
Changed to NGK Iridiums today and boy is the fwd upper plug in a tight place.
My regular workshop gear was useless and I fiddled with oem aprilia tool and custom made 13mm socked (needed to shorten it)
Is there some custom made tool to use w/o taking the airbox and it`s pieces down?

I admit usually this is done during the winter overhaul, but try to do it on road.
A lot of blood sweat and tears....

Sorry for the typo....
Cheers

Straight answer is, no there isn't. The airbox has to come off every time.

The joys of owning a bike with 'character'.
 
I did mine without removing the airbox

Was a pain but the plug spanner from my zx12r fit then used 14mm open ender on top of this for the front top plug
I basically had to undo it a flat at a time but only took 5 minutes

Used some screen wash hose on top of the new plug to start it off so putting the new one in was easier and quicker than taking the old one out

The other plugs are straighforward
