It's very simple. I tried to find a good location on the bike to install some stop bushings. I finally settled on the short part of the exposed frame rail bellow the front of the gas tank. I then had to find a hard enough rubber bushing that was thick enough. I had alittle problem locating that because it needed to be at least 3/4" thick rubber. I looked at alot of stuff at the autoparts store but remembered using expansion plug rubber for bushings on my car. The rubber was just the right hardness and the thickness was perfect. They come in a different outside diameters to choose from. So I went that route. Next was time to decide on how to mount them on the frame. I decided to epoxy them to the frame. I got me some Loctite brand quickset epoxy and glued them on. I roughed up the frame first, then cleaned it all up, next I roughed up one side of the rubber and clenaed it good then stuck'm on. I'll have pics in the gallery soon. I don't know if you guys had this problem with your dampers or not. I looked into getting a shim taken out but found that the steering stops was'nt comming into play even if they were aligned to hit anyways. The topclamp was hitting the damper tower long before the stops came close to touching. So the bushings was my only solution in my feeble mind.

I hope that some one could use it also. Might want to give me a chance to see if the epoxy is going to hold or not before diving in on yours. It looks like it'll work out great though. I got the expansion plugs at Advanced Auto. The Epoxy I got at the local hardware store. I wanted some glue that I thought would last. Loctite makes good stuff so I went that direction. Glad to help though. Thanks.
