[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 99996, member: 456"] Hi Mac, If you look at the photograph I put on #14 of my bike on full right lock you will see that the damper parts are not near the concentric where the top of the spring box would be. There is also no problem on the other lock. The only problem I found was that the end of the lever arm was hitting the side of the front exhaust valve spring cover but only slightly. I removed about 1 - 1.5 mm from that arm and there is now plenty of clearance. I had 30 of these lever arms laser cut out of 10 mm thick ali plate and that was a mistake. When these have all gone I will get the next batch milled out to give a much better edge finish. It took seven hours on each batch of ten of the present ones to get the edges to a finish I thought was acceptable. I think that this is all very interesting and I like Vic's design. I find it interesting that so many different approaches all seem to work well enough. In the future there will be no excuse for anyone who would like to have a hydraulic steering damper. Their only problem will be deciding which design to go for. [/QUOTE]
