Hi Irish, no its coming from China Land, will take a few days to get here, then will have to offer it up to see what adittional bits are needed ( apart from the spacer on the yoke mount )
Im just hoing that M6 mounting bolts are indeed universal,and my universal damper is sleeved for M6 !
Thanks for the pics offer CC

No prob mate, FYI the 10mm spacer goes on the right fork leg mount and the two funny washers go on either side of the bracket that screws onto the yoke mount.

Well the Chinese steering damper has arrived, very nice bit of kit, very well made and finished, but.....
the rose joints are sleeved for 8mm clearance so I will have to get some 'pillar' bolts made, reducing from 8mm to M6,so what do the odd shaped washers and 'O' rings do on the fairing mount end do ?
Do they make up a weather tight seal ?
Cant see any point in buying them if they are undersized ?
Any wisdoms nd enlightenment appreciated !

To be totally honest I don't think it's to make the seal just helps the way it sits on the fairing I think.... I'm prob not the best guy to ask to be fair, Blinkey might be able to shed some light on it for you.fatboy wrote:Well the Chinese steering damper has arrived, very nice bit of kit, very well made and finished, but.....

Just bought a used Ohlinds and I think I'm missing some mounting hardware. Here is a link to a few pics. If I am missing pieces where can I get them. Preferably in the USA so I don't get killed on shipping. Thank you
