[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 81422, member: 456"] With the instructions which I send out with the modified steering heads I give two different designs of bracket to mount on the forks to provide the moving part of an hydraulic steering damper set up. One can be made with hand tools and the other requires access to a milling machine. I offered to get a batch made and Greg also offered to make a batch for fitting to these steering heads. Holes are already provided in the base of the steering head to allow relatively easy fitting of such a bracket. The problem is this. There is no consensus on where, or at what angle, people want the steering damper to fit. Some like it as in the photo in#90 above. Others want it to go at a similar angle down the timing side of the bike. Yet others would prefer it to go across the bike from a front drive side mounting on the forks to a fixed timing side bracket, perhaps on a crash bar. There is a sketch of such a bracket from the editor of the OzVincent Review. If anyone would like a copy of the fitting instructions so that they can look at these designs then, even if you are not going to buy a modified steering head, send me an email to [email]enw07@btinternet.com[/email] and I will send you, by email, a pdf of the instructions.
