[QUOTE="A Nut, post: 176575, member: 2005"] I should have mentioned that in addition to the rear Protech shock that they made for the Victor that Kevin had a go at making a front damper for me. The problem that we had was making it short enough (closed) to use on the front. I can't remember what figure we ended up at but whatever it is it works ok. I had to machine the 5/16" BSF thread on one of their damper rods myself as all of their kit is metric. Protech then fitted the top fitting from a standard Vincent damper and a plastic shroud from one of their old type (BMC) Mini dampers. We experimented with the damping rates and it currently is on the softest setting they can provide. It still has another 13 harder positions that I can play with! Now that winter is here I am prepared to remove the front damper from the Victor and take it down to them if anyone else is interested. Brian Werrett [/QUOTE]
