Spring Compressor Recommendations

IndieSol

"This one goes to eleven." -Nigel Tufnel
I have new shocks and springs for my GS1100, and I plan on doing new shocks and springs on my 360 as well when I get there. I'm looking for recommendations on a decent, affordable spring compressor that will do the job. I'd also be interested in any plans for a DIY spring compressor.

Thanks.
 
Yeah I looked at that one. The HF site says it's for use with McPherson struts. I'm not sure how similar they are to the motorcycle units I'm used to, but that and the fact that it's a Harbor Freight model make me a bit pessimistic. I suppose I can return it if it doesn't work though.
 
I dropped by O'Reilly's on my way home for lunch. They have something that seems like it will work. They actually loan out tools for free (a deposit is required), so it may just be the perfect solution.
