Installing a steering damper, and hit a stop. I don't have a 30mm hand socket, only have an impact.

 

Sub'd...

 

Had to pause for a second. @spithead051 saved the day with the 30mm chrome socket. Torqued the steering bolt to 74ft-lb and then finished the install and reassembly.


It looks slick, almost hidden under the bars
