08-09-06, 07:29 AM

Is there a way to use the stock steering damper that is attached to the forks on the GSXR1000 front end when using it in a front end swap on a 2004 SV650S?

I saw one guy on here used the horn bracket to mount it under the (i guess it was the steering head, couldn't see clearly). Is this the appropriate place to mount? I guess I could get a bracket or something from Lowes if it is.

Sorry for so many questions, but I have to do the whole swap in one weekend (the 15th - the bike is at the in-laws) or wait until the next time I go down there to finish the job. I'm trying to work out all the kinks I can before crunch time.

Thanks for all the help so far.
