[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 9691, member: 456"] FF57 is the shorter and original model intended to be used with Vincent dampers. FF57/1 is the later longer model intended to be used with Armstrong dampers as used on 'D's. Only two are used, one each side of the bottom of the damper. I have no idea why there is some information that there are some others coming out of, or fixed to, FF32. Not on standard bikes but maybe someone had a mod to use them for some other purpose. For example, ET154/1s are often used to act as spacer for a stiffener in front of FF32. It is important that the correct length of FF57 is used with its mating damper as this is what limits the movement of the Girdraulic fork legs. Fitting the wrong ones can let the wheel drop too far and then the front mudguard can foul either the mag cowl or the exhaust pipe. This does not aid steering! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
