[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 78619, member: 456"] Thank you to MartynG for his comment on precautions to be taken while fitting the new steering heads. All his points are covered in the 'Fitting Instructions' which are supplied with each new steering head. The point about shortening the spring boxes is on page 2 and the point about checking clearances is in red at the bottom of page 4 and repeated at the bottom of page 5. A pdf version of these instructions was attached to an earlier posting. If anyone wants a copy in either WORD or pdf format email me at [email]enw07@btinternet.com[/email]. I should also point out here that Greg has offered to make a batch of plates to fix to the base of the new steering heads to allow the interfacing of a hydraulic steering damper. These are based upon my design, but suitably tweaked by Greg, based upon his experience fitting this mod to various of his customers bikes. They are available to allow the damper to be positioned on either the left of right hand side of the bike and I am prepared to order a batch from Greg to be supplied with the steering heads over here in Europe if you wish. I do not know the price yet but I do not imagine that it will be a 'rip off'. Contact me on the above email if interested and I can work out a price depending upon how many are ordered, shipping costs and whether import duty is charged etc. Feedback on the use of both the 33 lbs/inch springs and 36 lbs/inch springs on Comets is still pending. Thank you [/QUOTE]
