Leakdown tester issues

So I bought a leakdown tester but it has only automotive adapters, does anyone know a good place to get motorcycle adapters?

I am hoping these work Amazon.com: Equus 3618 Adapters for Compression Tester: Automotive

Those will probably work. The simple compression test gauge that I bought had a set of those and one of them fit...

If your handy... make one from a plug.. or you can buy the 12mm adapter from a snap on tool truck.

+1, Made mine out of a spark plug. First did it in '86 when I made my tester.

I am really trying to avoid making my own since I dont want to create more weak links in my leakdown test. I am willing to buy an adapter but just cant find one.

EEPV306A, Adaptor, Compression Gauge, Motorcycle, M12 x 1.25

$36 any Snap on tool truck or order it on line. The QR fitting may or may not fit your gauge set... most gauges , the female QR is replaceable.. should be able to unscrew what you have and screw on one that matches the Snap On part.
