[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 99289, member: 456"] I can only speak for my own design, but Vincent's looks pretty much the same, but my system uses almost all the travel of the damper. I allow 5 to 6 mm at each end to allow the original stops to act as the limit to movement, rather than the damper itself. I thought that I had found a damper at a good price. It is the same one that you placed the details for and it is cheaper on that site than I am paying for it here in the UK. However, it seems to be a very nicely made item. It has 75 mm of stroke and I am using about 65 mm of that. Part of my design criteria was to allow the use of a crash bar as some people like to have one. I think it would also work if a sidecar was fitted but it will not work if an Avon style full fairing is fitted as their brackets use the sidecar fitting and are bulkier than a normal sidecar fitting. If you do come up with a better design then it will be very interesting to see it. [/QUOTE]
