Steering Damper Bush

#1 PostAuthor: wheelysteve » Wed Nov 11, 2015 10:42 pm

The rubber bush on my original (1975) steering damper is knackered. Anybody know where I can get one ?

Cheers, Steve

Internal diameter is 11mm

External diameter is 16-17mm

Length around 15mm long.

Can't find them online. Would have thought they were standard sizes ??

Yes I that's the one NHK. It's dated 1975 so I'd like to keep this one on the bike as it damps ok but the mounting rubbers are shot.

I will look into the spherical bearing idea.....
