as you can see
there is absolutely NO impingement on the ignition key area... in any way
i left it on #6.... as the manual states
the bike is MUCH more stable
letting go of the handlebars on deceleration yields a straight line run..... NOT possible before it was installed
a great purchase
sorry for the white line at the top of the following image
Looks factory installed! looks good on the bike, not as if it was an afterthought.
I know once you get more miles with it on you will write up more of your impressions :koolaid:
that white line, by the way, is unacceptable! :flickoff:
Greg looks great,i have the 4 as i said before, try putting it on left hand lock then try and push key and apply steering lock iam not saying impossible but its very tight,i havent got the biggest hands but i find it fiddly to get at the key.But yes iam happy with the damper ,makes me feel more comfortable at 100 + that iam not going to get a tank slap.Its a good buy.
looks fantastic Greg! you might want to consider removing that key chain during rides. would suck if it got caught on something during a turn. well done mate.

yes, i do agree with you about that
i rarely, if ever.... "LOCK" my steering head, because i'm not too keen on leavning my bike out of my view when in a "questionable" location
not PERFECT clearance, but, as you say.... adds a great deal of stability for the "inconvenience"
you know that i'm a big BMW bike fan as well
so.... since i have been wearing my mvagusta.net shirts while riding my BMW... i thought it was a fair trade-off

yes....
i appreciate that reminder, as you are SURELY correct about that.
i just have thiis HORRIBLE HABIT of losing keys that aren't attached to anything.... so "small" in my eyes. i'll have to come up with something

Wow Greg, M4 looks terrific - seems like it should be an OEM part. Curious, what setting are you using for normal riding? I started with 5 but have moved it up to 7, which I feel makes the bike a little more stable around 80-90 mph. I'm hoping you as pleased as I am with the damper.

i started on 6.... only because the manual suggested that and moved it to 7 before i got home. i'll experiment more "at speed/in the twisties" very soon.
