I have one of these. Works great. Adjust from zeros resistance to extremely heavy. It also acts like a shock by preventing rapid turning from a shock to steering direction.
I can reach down and change settings while riding. From slow city riding to high speed highway. Makes a difference on the highway maintaining lane position. Wind gust, and road grooves are easily overcome.

This was all that was necessary... https://www.ebay.com/itm/358809325412
How does the damper rod attach to the clamp thingy?

Thanks for the link, John. I wondered about those and how well they worked.
How many miles has yours gone? I presume it's holding up.
A photo of yours mounted, please?! :wink:

The lower triple tree has a hole in it. I threaded the hole.
Made a spacer that allowed the swivel ball to mount below. I put a washer and acorn nut on top for extra strength and clamping pressure.
The opposite end is mounted to a piece of 3/8 x 1 bar stock. This is mounted to the voltage regulator mount on the frame. Using both holes.
