[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 96000, member: 456"] OK Chaps. I have now finished preparing another batch of ten of the new hydraulic dampers. I have just posted the first one off and it would make life easier if those of you who have expressed interest could contact me again, either by PM or at [email]enw07@btinternet.com[/email] I have made some slight modifications to these kits in the light of feedback on the first ones sent out. Nothing drastic; an 'o' ring between the rose joint and a boss on the bolt which holds the assembly into the hole in the steering head. made new spacers 5.5 mm thick rather than 10 mm and removed a small amount of material at the outer end of the larger ali plate which takes the moving end of the damper rod. This ensures that nothing hits the engine etc and yet the axis of the damper is still at right angles to the main fore and aft axis of the bike.
