REFLECTOR: Damper (Shimmy Damper)

Scott,

The RG fork is a modification of the FG fork.  The FG fork has the gear leg 
hole drilled front to back instead of top to bottom on your RG fork.  It's 
the same fork but it mounts horizontally instead of vertically.  That 
configuration won't fit in the nose and was modified for the RG models.  The 
damper sits below the gear leg nut which works for the FG but would hit the 
tire on an RG set-up.

Clear?
