Steering Damper installation

[BigDick]

Thats the famous (or infamous) "hinge in the middle" affect on these things. Reportedly tkat's fork brace makes that go away, or at least mostly. I just don't push it that hard, since the poor thing is having to work hard enough dragging my fat azz around.

gotta throw in $0.02 real quick, was doing a ride through kansas with a few other 11's, they were running hard ~80 mph through curves, I hit the curve hot and let off the throttle, as soon as I let off she got a little squirrley on me, i eased back into the throttle and she steadied right out, tracked on around the curve like she was on rails.

FWIW I have the TKat brace and progressive fork springs.

I got the alloy fork tube bracket on Saturday and put it to work this morning. The damper is now installed kitty corner. In this position it is not as visible and allows the bars to be turned stop to stop. On the lightest setting its presence can not even be noticed. The last 2 items to do on this bike are a chain guard and a drive sprocket cover.
