[QUOTE="Feanor, post: 908081, member: 55364"] Hi all, I broke down and picked up a Scott's steering damper and it just came in today... I got the weld on version because they told me at Scott's that there wasn't enough demand for KDX bolt on towers and they didn't want to make more... I found that INCREDIBLY frustrating, but I'm just a customer... Anyhow, I was looking over the weld on piece and according to the instructions its going to require not only welding, but grinding, maybe bending and perhaps cutting... Can anyone share any stories about their Scott's damper install? I know that there are many machine shop types out there and that the welding and fab process is probably a no brainer, but to me, wrenching on the parts that come off and on with bolts and screws is about it, and I really didn't want to shell out perhaps another 100 bucks to weld on the post, not to mention that I can't see a shop taking the time and care to grind and shape the post mount like it says is optimal in the instructions... There is also VERY LITTLE space between the front of the tank and the frame steer tube where the post is apparently suppose to go... I know the bolt on is supposed to not be as rigid as the weldon, but at least the bolt on one is... well... bolt on, and I could ride the bike tomorrow instead of it maybe being out of commission for quite a while... The post looks like a tube welded to a triangular piece which has a large radius on the bottom. Looks very much like an arrow (wish I could attach pics here) Anyway, any insight as to how you dealt with an installation of the weld-on version is much appreciated... Thanks in advance!
