Fitted my damper today, wasnt the easiest damper I have ever fitted I have to say but worked out great The damper is a rebadged MSC a great Aussie made product



Original setup with bar risers

The ignition cover needs to come off, two allen screws



Once the cover was removed it reveled the steering lock bolts are shear bolts. Once they are tight they shear and it prevents people unbolting the steering lock





I drilled a small hole in the cente and once I was sure it was in the centre I drilled it as big as I dared below the head height



I then used a drill bigger than the bolt shaft size to get rid of the head



I used an easy out and removed both bolts




Both bolts out, ready for the pin bracket




Once done I removed the standard bar mounts and mounted the bar mount bracket, it needed a spacer between the rubber mounts and the bracket



It was now I discovered I hadn’t listened to Steve when he said it is a fat bar mount, I flew down got Suttos and got a few sets of bars so I could try a few before I decided. (try that with your cheap US web shops :laugh: )
Once a set was found I bolted it all up and happy days







I then drilled and tapped a thread to mount my GPS



The only other thing need was a fat bat bark buster mount kit

Steve from Adventure Moto is the man. He looked after me and the others from OBT that bought their dampers and heaps of other stuff there.
