CockneyRick Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Frame! So, considering the frame is box section shaped, how have any of you mounted it? Front is gonna mount to Srad 50/54mm forks, so also in need of the appropriate clamp if anyone has one spare Quote Link to comment

CockneyRick Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 That across front type? Quote Link to comment
dupersunc Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 SES list fork clamps on eblag, about £25 and very neat. I welded a boss to the frame on the last one I did. My race Slabbie doesn't have a steering damper and doesn't need one. The only reason I fitted one on another bike was to meet some specific race regs. 1 Quote Link to comment

davecara Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I've got a 50mm fork clamp if you need it @CockneyRick came off my 750m Quote Link to comment
CockneyRick Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Sorry, it's a 54mm one i need Quote Link to comment
canamant Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I just drilled a hole in the cast section and bolted it right on. Only did it because I'd been told you had to have one on for the Manx (wrongly) when I went as a newcomer in 2012. It was awful and I binned it after one lap. Scrutineers thought I was mad with no damper but it didn't need one. I did fit a borrowed Ohlins unit for the 2016 MGP and it only made it's presence felt once at the Milntown leap when it landed crossed up. One slap and I had it back under control. 2 Quote Link to comment
CockneyRick Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Well as it's for a straight line drag bike, i should be ok! Once everything is assembled, i'll look at drilling & sticking an Avdel nut in the triangular spar area to mount the damper holder bracket Quote Link to comment
CockneyRick Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Actually a 50mm one might work if i attach it to top spar & use the 50mm fork diameter at top Quote Link to comment
