ok, for a 900, rod is 550mm, hex is 28.5mm AF, celticbiker kindly made these for me, but a 3/4" UNF bolt head works as its same dimension. If using a bolt turn down the head to get rid of the bevelled edges for a deeper fit in the damper rod. Find some way to fix it to the rod weld, pins, screws, rivet etc.
Plastic bit has to be 38mm dia to fit snugly inside fork tube, the top dia can be pretty much anything just to stop it falling down the fork tube.
The hole through the plastic must match whatever rod you are using plus say 0.1mm to allow it to slide freely. I used 14mm tube for one and 12mm solid rod for the other, whatever was to hand. Most drills drill slightly oversize so it should just work.
The plastic bit can be acetal, nylon, polyurethane, or even alloy, whatever is available, I used some left over acetal from another job.
when you leave smuggle a lathe out in bits in your lunchbox, reassemble at home later
