You can get front spring compressors from England, (TSSC - Triumph Sport Six Club). For around $72.00 U.S. As someone else has noted, a front spring compressor is worth it's weight in gold. Something you will use many times over the years. Especially if you have adjustable seat shocks. It can be a real pain trying to guesstimate the proper ride height for the spring, adjust, put them on the car, find out your wrong, take them off, have to re-adjusted; repeat infinitum. I wasn't enthused by the TSSC model because it has two screws which must be tightened. I also wanted something more stable to hold the spring to keep it stable from the sides. So I made my own with a single large handle screw and 3 bars that hold the shock and spring assembly in situ. You need a welder and about $25 in materials to make the compressor, but it's worth the time and effort in the long run. I used to have directions to build it, but I lost the pictures, illustrations and instructions in my recent computer crash last month. I'll try to recreat them and post on my web page agin.
