Hi,
What are my steering damper options these days for the 31K LC2? I see some posts referencing the Norbo kit but I don't think they are available any more. Any advice much appreciated.

No idea TBH.. Some swear by Dampers while others swear at them.
Your choice.
Fully slop free suspension seems to not need damping.. I know mine doesn't.

I went for the DIY option for my 4L0 and I swear by them because I have experienced a tank slapper before….VERY, VERY scary! 😧 The fork clamp was NOS off eBay The damper itself was approx. £80 new off eBay I made the mounting bracket out of aluminium plate, which is secured to the left hand side of the Rad I used old pictures to get the right position and look  |

Recently driving on the highway, saw an Old guy on a Norton.. it was obviously restored (shiny /clean)
Drove beside it (next lane) to check it out.
Astoundingly .. every Minute / few hundred meters or so the thing would shake it's headstock.. Violently.
Bike wiggling all over the place. This on a ruler straight road into the horizon.
Shaking happening like clockwork for the few minutes I chose to watch this spectacle.
Yet no sign of concern from the rider.. business as usual... a Circus act.
A sane man would have pulled over/gotten off.. or in the v least reduced speed from the ~120 kph we were running at.. I certainly would have.
Fully expected the fool to be thrown off at any moment.
Things one sees onna road.

I like it Charles, Arronmvrider did one on his LC2 like that. I have a 916 style Arrow on my 421LC, but mostly cos people said it couldnt be done lol  |

Thanks for the answers guys. I've had a few lock to lock slappers in the past. Don't want to risk it on this one. Managed to get one of Norbo's. He's got one more left in case anyone is interested.
