Danger4u2:
Yes, the tank bolt and it's a split ring that goes over the steering head bolt. The mount has a bolt in the split part in front. It then squeezes around the neck of the frame. The set up is very secure.
Dutch-K5 Fan:

I have a GPR unit on mine that was there when I bought it. Do these things need to be serviced? I see no leaks... It seems to have gotten softer since I bought it, but maybe I',m just used to it?

Are you saying you set it on a number and it feels like it's getting softer? I thought the stabilizers are good until they leak.
I change the setting to the type of terrain and or the speed I'm going.
In one of the motorcycle magazines I get they were giving people a hard time about calling them dampers.
I've always called them steering dampeners, I found there is no such word. Dampeners:The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. They should be called a steering stabilizer.
Scott, the brand I use, calls them steering stabilizers. But if you look around on their web site they call them dampers also.
It's kind of like a Crescent wrench, we all know what it is but there actually called adjustable pliers.
