and since you've seen it steve i swapped things about and it no longer moves side to side the amount it did ( only a little bit which is needed when the forks turn) and it doesn't foul the clock either.

i think ill reverse fit mine, and also mount the damper under the bracket of the forks, and try it that way might make a little room under the clock that way ill try get the setup just right and post up my findings,

not sure when ill order mine as im still skintish, managed to sell my turbo but want to wait for it to arrive before i spend my earnings! just 2 exhausts left to sell and ill be getting my Rick O fork springs :)

whats the anodising like roy, and can you stick up some close detail photos ;)

cheers pal Rick

got this damper. well, i dont know how to say my feelings. it is like you put large sticker "turbo" on your bike but dont see extra horsepowers. quality corresponds to price, i would not suggest to anyone this.

my red damper has arrived, its only taken 3 weeks!

the quality seems ok, fairly strong build, cosmetically sound, had to remove the tacky stickers, found the adjustor is easy to adjust and makes massive difference in damping, will fit to bike tomorrow as ive been working late at a friends this week, so if i get 5 mins tomorrow ill chuck it on and get pics.
