A friend of mine was supplied a front damper arm with the ends held apart by half an alloy link with a rubber bush in it.
The holes were standard size, so if this was fitted the shock centre pin would be directly connected to the pin on the axle, with no rubber to take up the movement.
I don't think this is right, is it?
The holes in the arm should be opened out so the bush goes through the arms as well?
I have fitted one of those dual arm front shocks to my Tourer and it has improved the handling- the front end is much less inclined to hop about.
I know this isn't racing stuff, but thought it worthwhile on a thread about front shocks.
