Mounted and working but i have actually flipped it round as in the bulbous bit is at the bottom, i.e opposite to the pic. Is it right? Does it make any difference?

Was there a reason for turning it round?
I guess if the damper does'nt clout anything when you turn lock to lock then it should be ok.

Turned it around as my father convinced me it should sit the other way round, not that he would know, but i took his advice any way. It doesn't touch anything so should be ok i guess? but just wanted to clarify in case it reduced it effectiveness or indeed worked at all should it have been mounte incorrectly.

The way you have it mounted is as shown in the 749s handbook and parts book.

Yes, that's the correct way when compared to my S also. Since it's a dark and didn't come with one I guess your concern was getting the bracket on the correct side. I don't see what difference it would make as far as operation, but might as well do it right.

Out of interest how does the bike feel now with the damper? I've got a dark and considered the damper option.

Cheers, Tricky.
