Re: steering damper.
and since you've seen it steve i swapped things about and it no longer moves side to side the amount it did ( only a little bit which is needed when the forks turn) and it doesn't foul the clock either.

Re: steering damper.
i think ill reverse fit mine, and also mount the damper under the bracket of the forks, and try it that way might make a little room under the clock that way ill try get the setup just right and post up my findings,royster81 wrote:yes mate i got the 330mm damper and i'm just shy of getting full lock to lock.

Re: steering damper.
got this damper. well, i dont know how to say my feelings. it is like you put large sticker "turbo" on your bike but dont see extra horsepowers. quality corresponds to price, i would not suggest to anyone this.

Re: steering damper.
my red damper has arrived, its only taken 3 weeks!
the quality seems ok, fairly strong build, cosmetically sound, had to remove the tacky stickers, found the adjustor is easy to adjust and makes massive difference in damping, will fit to bike tomorrow as ive been working late at a friends this week, so if i get 5 mins tomorrow ill chuck it on and get pics.
