The rubber bush on my original (1975) steering damper is knackered. Anybody know where I can get one ?
Cheers, Steve

Internal diameter is 11mm
External diameter is 16-17mm
Length around 15mm long.
Can't find them online. Would have thought they were standard sizes ??

I'm thinking of the NHK type is that the one?

just replace the rubber bush with a Spherical Plain Bearing

Yes I that's the one NHK. It's dated 1975 so I'd like to keep this one on the bike as it damps ok but the mounting rubbers are shot.
I will look into the spherical bearing idea.....
