Default compensator locking tool

Does anyone have the dimensions on the flat bar required to lock the compensator and clutch on an '09 touring model twin cam?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure about an '09, but for my '15 Limited it's 3/16 thick, about 1 1/2" wide, and just shy of 6" long.

Nothing special, just plain old soft steel. Amazon sells them if you don't want to make one.

On the 2006 dyna and 2007 and later with the newer style compensator you aren't supposed to block the chain, you're supposed to lock the gears.
