Motorcycle Suspension Tools
Suspension tools are for setting up and servicing motorcycle shocks and forks. The range here includes Progressive Suspension shock pumps, fork oil level kits, a shock spring tool and pre-load spanners. Hyperpro workshop tools are here too, from spring removal tools and vice clamps to a steering damper service tool kit. Most are not made for one bike; where a tool is, such as a pre-load spanner for the Harley-Davidson Softail, the title names it.
Pumps and oil level kits
Progressive Suspension describes its digital gauge pump as a compact pump for adjusting air pressure in forks or shocks, with a 0 to 300 psi range and a flexible hose with a no-loss connector. Its fork oil level adjuster is for accurate fluid level adjustments, with calibration marks and a sliding marker. The range here has a digital gauge pump and a gauge-mounted air pump, both reading 0 to 300 psi, and a standard and a PRO fork oil level kit.
Spanners and spring tools
Pre-load spanners turn the spring preload adjuster on a shock. Progressive says its single-shock spanner fits most adjusters found on single shocks. The shock spring tool is for changing the spring on a shock; Progressive says its shock tool takes the hassle out of changing springs. Several pre-load spanners are listed, one of them for the 1985 to 2017 Harley-Davidson Softail.
Use them with shock absorbers, shock springs and Öhlins fork oil.
Hyperpro workshop tools
The Hyperpro tools here are for working on shocks, forks and steering dampers: a hydraulic shock spring removal tool, a fork spring removal tool for UPSD cartridge forks, vice clamps for fork tubes, shock tubes and spindles, a fork cartridge socket, shock tool adapter rings for some BMW and Triumph models, and a steering damper service tool kit. Each title gives the Hyperpro part number, and each clamp title gives its size in millimetres.
Will it fit my bike?
Most of these tools are not made for one bike. Where a tool is, such as the pre-load spanner for the Harley-Davidson Softail, the title names the bike. Check the product page before ordering.
Do I need a shock pump?
Only if your forks or shocks use air pressure. Progressive Suspension says its digital gauge pump is for adjusting air pressure in forks or shocks.
