Show us your tools you've fabricated yourself to get a maintenance task done on your bikes.

Something pretty simple made for installing headrace bearings but has been used for plenty since then.
Bevelled copper with steel backs and then two nuts to lock on one side and one nut to tighten or adjust on the other.
Great for not risking hammering something i shouldn't and cheaper than a bearing press sethttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200127/9a51dd308a55f9a04148f5ab2c20d0d3.jpg

Old Suzuki clutches are a pig to put together as you have to pull the spring through the hole in the plate and fit a dowels pin in place without it disappearing into orbit if you slip, or just as likely the last one slips into the middle, start again.
I made this in the weekend. . . edit photo

Rob was going to convert the GP125 one to std operation using DR/GN parts not sure if he did or not.

Yeah he did, it's not simple apparently or decisive. Hmm, better update.
