[QUOTE="macvette, post: 91702, member: 262"] Latest version of " Chinese damper" install. My bike is a Series D with modified steering stem and bearing mod to the lower link. When I made the damper bracket in the drawing and mounted the damper on the bike with the above mods, I mounted the damper ahead of the body pivot bracket as shown in the first picture (085400). I wasn't happy with the clearance of the damper rod and the right hand spring box so I mounted the damper behind the pivot point but wasn't happy with the clearance between the damper body and the front cylinder. As a result I sourced a damper body bracket whose pivot point was on the body centre line and fabricated the actuating bracket you see in the second picture (094801). The bracket is made from 10mm thick rolled aluminium and has a 6mm spacer between it and the flat underside face of the modified steering stem. The spacer is relieved to fit over the protruding stem. The mounting for the damper pivot was made from 17 mm Stainless hex bar turned down and threaded 3/8 Bsw to fit into the original damper stop hole which O tapped to match. The other end of the SS was drilled and tapped to match the damper pivot bolt supplied with the centre line body bracket. The third picture shows the final version.
