Maybe not the best photos, but....

Photo on top: clamp on left tube (note to self, remove plastic brake line scratch pad from tube BEFORE mounting clamp)

Photo on bottom: Right side - special bracket mounts at bottom of fairing stay, damper underneath, clamp above damper,

Jossi -

Yes. Adjust the tube clamp by rotating clockwise or counter clockwise so that the end of the damper rod almost touches the left inner pod when you are at full left steering lock. Snug up the tube clamp (not tight) and adjust the damper assembly to be roughly centered on the damper clamp. Turn full right to lock, then full left to lock and repeat until the damper rod does not interfere with anything. It will fit. Then tighten everything and check it again.
