Without doubt one of the most underrated pieces of workshop equipment.

Among the most requested upgrades or adjustments involve roadholding. Many riders do not appreciate the difference made by correct adjustment and set up of these vital components. Bikes generally leave the factory in a ‘catch-all’ default set-up. Leaving a huge range of possibilities. If you are keen to offer this kind of service, you’ll need one of these! This front fork and rear spring compressor is designed to work on most sport bikes and road racers with cartridge forks. Allows you to remove the spring safely and hold the fork / shock absorber unit for general servicing. Standard issue in many MotoGP, WSB and BSB teams today.

Comes with adapter kit available from 45mm – 87mm (Part No E450SA-FK).

The countdown continues…
