Ring compressor suggestions needed

[chuck hahn]

Looking at buying a set of ring compressors. What are you guys using? Pics and links would be much appreciated.

I have the complete Snap-on tapered set. I am certain that you could get similar set for less money elsewhere though.

[chuck hahn]

got a link to them? I am getting well over the two screwdrivers and wiggling the jugs down scenarios...LOL

Hose clamps.
With strips cut from a coke can if you like.

The Triumph twin ones work pretty well. I think mine are for the 650 and they fit spot on for a GS1000.

I thought of the beer or soda can strip but using zip ties Stan...but then having REAL ones are more convenient than search for cans each time you wanna do something.

You not supposed to throw them way Chuck, they go back in the toolbox, eish you 'muricans and your disposable society.
But I agree, real proper type ones would be nice.

Biggest cut I ever got on my hands was from doing this.

You and me both, mine was a beer can and there was alcohol involved.
Bled like a pig, thought I was going to die.

2 small screwdrivers and added chamfer to the bottom of the liners...
goes together like butter......
no fancy stuff needed.

Not all bikes have the chamfered sleeves.

Cool Whip tubs cut into strips and painters tape.

Ditto.
I have one proper ring compressor, bought for car engines, where one pot at a time is done, but for putting bike lumps together, with the cramped space available, I use Jubilee clips and a bit of tin can.
