    Fork damper rod bolt?

    I have an '82 GS1100e. I see on BassCliff's chassis torque table "Front fork damper rod bolt". What and where is this?

    It's not a steering dampener, is it? That's one of the few items I would consider adding to my Suzi. I'm into simplicity and saving weight - no windshields, crash bars, luggage racks, heated grips, etc.

    The "Front fork damper rod bolt" has an asterisk indicating "new to Z (1982) model".

    Thanks much

    They hold the damper rods down to the bottom of the fork sliders. You do have a service manual?


    Life is too short to ride an L.

      Thanks, located the damper rod (on paper). I have the Haynes, which I'm learning is not the best, and the Suzuki, which I downloaded from BassCliff. I don't think Clymer made one for the '82 1100e.
