Hey all, I have seen that many people have used the GSX damper on their build. When installing mine I am having a hard time getting it to clear lock to lock. I understand that I rarely if ever will need the full range of steering while actually riding. Has anyone been able to use this damper...

Someone may have posted already on this but I wanted to give credit where credit is do. Kris worked with me on a set of uunversal rearsets that so far have set up flawlessly on my GS450. I may end up ordering a set of custom mounts as well in the future. This man has SKILLS. I ordered these...

Alright finally did a crap load of aluminum grinding and shaping on the backside of my mounts. Got the rearsets mounted and am ready to work the linkage.

I have seen several threads about mounting a cafe seat. I had every intention of using mounts which would have raised the seat up to almost match the lower line of the tank. However the seat I purchased after modifications just fits over the frame rails and will not clear the extra 1/4 inch...
