Works great for what it was designed for.

A fairly expensive but quality tool that never wears out. Works with all types of plugs I need. Makes disassembly and assembly of modern inverted forks an easy one-man job.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Works great and well assembled

Phenomenal tool. Compressing the forks on my Daytona 675 09 is now a breeze. Easy to use, easy to clean, and I can just hang it on the wall so while it's a big tool, it doesn't get in the way in my tiny garage.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Did what I needed but...

This did what I needed in terms of replacing the seals on my R6 but the two small pins that snap in to compress the springs , are a bit short, I'm sure. .. they barely touch the phone. I used a different bolt for a more secure engagement.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Functionality

Item not delivered.

Revain received a full refund even though I was able to borrow a drone from a friend to complete the job. It was exactly the same as the one listed. Using the tool was simple and straightforward. No problem, and I did the job right when racing technique first became my dedicated toy tool.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Minor issues

This tool is required to work with the front fork!

Excellent tool and very well put together. I don't know why I didn't buy one of these a long time ago as changing the forks on my FZ-09 just got a lot easier! It took about 30 minutes to change bushings and seals for each fork. Couldn't be happier with this tool as it works exactly as intended.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • sparse instructions

Scratches and Rust - Springs

Yes it will fit. But the photo shows a good black instrument. I had an old fashioned gold powder coat with rust and scratches on the powder coat. Either it was used or it sat on the shelf for years. I feel like I should have gotten a discount from what was pictured to what I actually got. Disappointed.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Available in Exchange

Why did I wait so long to buy it?

If you have inverted front shocks I can't imagine servicing them without this tool. I used to service my stock shocks without any of them. Doable, but sometimes difficult. Since the shocks were upside down on my cross-country win, I bought this to get the job done and not break my joints. I can't imagine why I didn't buy it a year ago. Paid for without deterioration on first use. Great design, works as advertised and a tool to pass down to my boys later in life.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Empty
