QUESTION: Where can I get this spring compressor tool and what does it look like?

Answer
it has to long bolts that connect to the primary and a bolt that turns inward and compresses the spring and hub. I know Tedds V-Twin sells them. You would have to go througth a dealer to get one. They are only a wholesaler
