I'm pretty sure I got all the parts I needed for the damper, and it all made sense; just one part didn't make any sense and that was the spring washer; should it be on top or on the bottom?
While installing the steering damper I remembered something from building the bike earlier, the lower race centering ring was not installed on this springer and since I found out that there was too little stem threads left on top after assembly I left it out and didn't think about it anymore. That means that the lower race is in contact with the fork. I think this has to do with that conversion kit. How bad is that in the long run?
After removing the top clamp plate (custom) I discovered that the upper head cone/crown was a bit lose, so I tightened it, and testing the fall away of the fork. The moment I was happy about it I installed the steering damper.
It took me some tries to get it right, and discovering that after a test ride the settings were wrong again; starting over.
In the end I found out that the upper head cone/crown moves under the plate (clock wise) and that the top stem nut for the damper also changes; hence the lever rotates (counter clockwise).
I'm not using a lock-plate, that probably explains why the upper head cone/crown moves, does that solely explain what is going on or does the damper also play a role in this and should I remove the damper while I got the custom top clamp plate on?
After my last testride today the upper head cone/crown just moved slightly and the top stem nut for the damper moved a bit more. Probably going to check tomorrow if it moves further after another testride.
I'll update with some pics tomorrow. Thanks in advance for thinking with me
