Does anyone know what size Castle Socket I need for a Z1000J2 steering stem nut, I'm sick of using a hammer and screwdriver to do these up and fancy doing it to the correct torque for a change.

I could, but I don't like them, I'd rather get a socket if possible

I have various bicycle crank spanners and rear shock spanners and have never had to buy a specific tool for the job.

Even with the socket you will still need a 'C' spanner of the correct size to hold the lower one whilst tightening the top one.
