I made one just like it and it works great. It probably cost me $25 and is well worth it. I don't care what anyone says, if the forks are on the bike there is no way to ensure the oil level is exact. If you take out six ounces and put six ounces in how do you know the oil level was correct when you started? You are just making an assumption unless you take the forks off and do them by the book. When you take them off, this is a very good clamp to use to hold them.

 

Brought back to life, took a while to find

 

I used an old lower tree, cut it off just after the pinch bolt hole, spent a few minutes at the grinder to clean it up. I know its the perfect size and holds tighter than ANYTHING lined with rubber ever will!

Oh and I got two for the price of one, FREE!

 

Where did you get the neoprene? Looks like Home Depot sells the wooden clamp, thinking of making one to get my fork caps off.

 

here's the one I made. Used one of the wife's potholders for lining.
