Fitting a steering damper

Bitza · 01-04-2024, 04:08 PM

Hi all, OK then I've been contemplating fitting a steering damper to the heap for some time (even though it's adding weight). The typical issue is when winding it on, particularly if it involves hitting a few cats eyes, i.e when overtaking. My main problem is of course is my own awkwardness, because I really hate those universal fitment - clamp round the fork leg type of damper set ups. Unfortunately with my 1994 frame & SS yolks, I can't see any obvious alternatives. I'm favouring a below the bottom yolk set up, but haven't worked out how to do it yet. So has anyone out there got any suggestions, preferably fully illustrated.
