[QUOTE="macvette, post: 100009, member: 262"] Hi Norman, the difference between your set up and mine and Vincents, is the offset body pivot. This will cause some rotation of the damper body wrt to the forks but much less than Vics does. To get rid of this rotation you would need to increase the reaward set on the actuating arm which in turn causes a clash with the front exhaust cap. I know because I tried that. Vic's set up is different it causes max rotation of the damper body with respect to the forks and whilst there would be no clash with the exhaust cap, there will be with the girdraulic spring boxes. I dont understand this talk about one set up being more complicared to make than another. Whatever you choose, you have to make two components, a link to drive the damper and an anchor. Mine had to be simple because I used a drill, hacksaw and files. With access to machining service, one can get as fancy as you like. The fact remains that from a geometric viewpoint, pivoting the damper body on its centreline is the most efficient way to translate the rotation of the forks into the linear motion of the damper.
