Default Fuel Crossover Tube Clamp Tool

What is the tool used to crimp the OEM clamps on the Cross over tube? is it available for a good price?

I will be upgrading to the chrome diamondback tube at a later date but just wanted to know what tool is used for the OEM clamps in the meantime.

Thanks

crimp clamp.

if you are messing with the crossover, it's a good time to add a quick disconnect, if you wanted to...

I've always just used the fuel injection hose clamps instead of the crimp style.

That quick disconnect is something to consider for the future!

In hindsight I didn't even need to remove the crossover tube to remove the tank to do what I wanted (disconnect and reconnect the handlebar control modules). It was a good learning experience though. The manual just has you disconnect the breather tube and remove the front and rear bolts and just slide the tank to the rear to expose all the connectors on the side of the neck!

You can use a pair of vice grips to pinch the fuel line so gas does not pour our. Also adding the fuel crossover quick disconnect is a pain cause there is not much space to fit it. I have one on my bike and I ended up routing it a different way
