[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 132067, member: 58"] Alyn The slot in the UFM should not influence the rear damper angle as there should be a slight clearance between the two. The spacers (spring bolt sleeve) F57/2 pull up to the damper top mounting and as the spacers are turned and their end face are 90 degrees to the stud axis it should all pull up straight when the nuts are tightened on the end of front spring stud F28/1. Now I have found on the occasonal UFM that the tubes that all this fits through (with the slot between them) can have moved out of alignment so check that first and if so they can be persuaded to go back into position. If the slot between them is tight and not at 90 degrees to the axis of the stud and so influencing the angle of the damper then either the slot is not wide enough or the Koni damper top mounting is too wide. Try assembling the damper, spacers F57/2 and stud F28/1 together first without the UFM to check the damper fits at right angles to the stud. If its not at right angles you will have problems with side load as the damper operates on the bike and it will wear quickly. Simon [/QUOTE]
