Time to do my forks and I knew that some have used a ratchet strap to compress fork springs as in this link... http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/153628.html?1178891937 Pic from the link...  I also saw where some had deformed the spacer tubes where the hook was attached. Here's my cheap and quick solution made from a piece of 1/4 inch steel bar formed with a vice and hammer in just a couple of minutes. The pics tell the story and it worked great!   | ||

There is hardly any preload on the spacers. I used a bent coat hanger to do the same thing as pictured above. | ||

1/4 inch rod is a bit overkill, but it's the first thing that I found laying around. | ||

I used an Allen wrench in the hole with a vise grip on the Allen as a handle. Worked well. |
