If it's the same as 749's your best bet is to buy a 1/2" drive 14mm and 15mm long reach socket and then use an angle grinder or similar to take a little bit more of the outside diameter of the socket. Rap the socket with a layer of gaffer tape to stop it scratching the frame when you slide it down the frame tube to reach the engine mount.

For the large allen key on the swing arm you can buy a 1/2" drive "hexagonal plug" from the motorist discount shop.

All in all, a £10 and some ingenuity will sort it.
