Steering damper rearrangement (a little tutorial)

This is a steering damper of my old 1200 Sport twin sparks.

To adapt it to the Heritage i used the headlight bolt connected to a steel bracket specially folded which supports the head of the damper.

For its back part, where you set the hardness of the device, i used its original support which seems to be tailor-made even for Softail models... i mean, with a bit of a damn lucky, this bracket allows the passage of the oil-clutch tube perfectly, you just need a further bolt to keep it in transverse position on the bar that supports the frame's downtubes.

The damper doesn't touch any part of the fork or the frame, the handlebar keeps all its amplitude of rotation and the work looks clean.

In conclusion, the steering damper it's almost totally useless... but gives a more racing look to the bobber.

needs some vintage cover air filters?
