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
Once again,spot on with the pics and info Irish

So you can see now the last pic CC did is the same as the one I posted for you just a slightly different angle

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. (Along with a couple of o rings)

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.

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

In the picture blowup it shows it shows two different types with different hardware. Mine looks like the stabalizer in the R model. Is this true?

The Ohlins damper is silver fitted to the R model, the other Sachs damper is red fitted to the base model.
May be cheaper for you to have the parts made over there, read all of the posts here, the parts seem to be spacers ect !
