i know this sounds stupid but i have no idea how to fit the steering damper i have to my bike i have tried loads of different ways n just cant suss it out, if i post a pick of all the bits that came with it could somebody let me know if i have all the parts? I am pretty certain it fits to the left hand side of the frame and goes up to the top yolk. RobB may be able to help me?

Hello matey. As far as i know the damper mounts onto the main frame by the big thread on the left hand side. The other end mounts to the left hand fork leg. there should be a large round ring that fits on the leg and tightens up with an allen bolt. You can only fit on that end of the damper by removing the top yoke ans sliding it on. didnt you get any fitting instructions?

Hope that helps :)

This should basically be what you get. Sounds like you have the mounting ring missing?
