I made mine 95mm long, then drilled 4 holes near the top (N S E W) about 6mm diameter to suit a sawn off 6" nail tommy bar.
Also filed serrations around the top edge to help get finger tip grip when trying to turn it.
Works for me but I still want to kick the arse of the little Japanese guy who designed the frame and put a cross piece directly over the spark plugs !!
:D
Rubber side down, Red side up is my preferred riding style.

That little Japanese guy had no problem getting his skinny double jointed wrist into that space.
I think he's the same guy who shoe-horned the boxer engine into the Subaru. Changing plugs on that was about as much fun as the TRX.
The original TRX tool kit plug spanner is 123mm long.
