Matris steering damper installed..

[runeight]

No time to post install pictures. The instructions are vague but if you read them a few times it's all good.

Let me say Thank You to one of our board sponsors. Oncycle. They have a great deal going on and the shipping was only two days. Excellent.

Went with Black as the other choices were Red or Blue.

Steering nut is hard to mount without a little damage however since this picture it has all been hidden. Black marker trick.  

Used Teflon tape but 120 Nm torque takes care of that.

If it appears off center this shot was taken before lining up the damper and tightening. You have to drill your top tree for the set pin to hold the bracket in place.

Those Matris dampers are the real deal, aren't they?

The quaility of that anodized finish looks fine.

Hit me up when you get back. Instructions are like the Gilles axle adjusters. Very vague.

You have to drill your top tree and install the little metal pin. This holds the bottom plate from turning. See first picture. Notice hole in bottom mounting plate.

Yeah, I dropped it in the engine bay.  

 Use needle nose pliers.

Looks great, that little pin can be a pain, a drop of loctite will help.
