Here is a complete step by step on how to install a Scotts Damper on a Honda F4i. This can also be used for most other bikes, not all bikes are the same but it's pretty strait forward. Between the step by step explaination and pics, you can't mess this up. If you do, then you might want to reconsider bikes all together :D

Big thanks to our buddy Carl for putting this together.

Step #1 Remove the stock plastic cap for the triple clamp bolt. You will not need this any more.

Step #10 Grease and insert brass looking rod (I forget what the part is actually called ).
This part is designed to float do not try to use any kind of lock-tite or anything.
