[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 52426, member: 456"] Hi Greg, if you look under the base of the new steering head you will see that there are three tapped holes. Two are there to allow the lower bearing to be jacked off the steering head stem but can be used for other purposes. The three of them together can be used to mount an additional plate with a hole to take the front end of the steering damper. This means that if necessary you can position the front of the damper more or less where ever you want. These days it would be easy and cheap to get such a plate laser cut out. The other thing which I guess you will already have thought of is to put in a bare wheel and/or mudguard at the front end before the spring unit is fitted. This will allow the full movement of the wheel etc. to be checked for clearance on the front cylinder or exhaust pipe etc. before you have to fight the strength of the spring. It is looking good.
