@@jberejik My pleasure, I am glad you found some useful value in this particular video. I hope my other iron head videos can be of use to you as well. I really appreciate you watching and commenting. Take care my friend.
I don’t think you mentioned the sliders from 1952 to 1967 (?) are straight all the way and then in 1968 the bottom is stepped down. I think that’s when they changed the dampener design.
I have to look around my stock of lower legs to find if I have the early straight legs. I have to go back and view that particular video as well because I thought I had an early leg on the table. But yes, the 68 seems to have the new Dampner design that has the larger bore drilled in the bottom of the leg to accept a larger bolt. Personally, i modify the older legs to accept the newer dampner design which is easy to do. Plus the new style dampers are still available through Dennis Kirk.
I have 2 complete pre-1968 forks which have the early style dampeners with the long rod which goes into an assembly on the bottom that’s about 6” tall. I’m pretty sure nobody is reproducing that style dampener so doing your modification is the only choice.
Thank you so much!!!
