Solid 600/550 Dampers

I'll find out tomorrow :s

In sure they will be fine, just be a slight wobble towards the end....hopefully.

The Lime green KBDD dampers are really good, but they don't seem rigid enough to prevent the links from wearing.

Sorry if this is 'off topic' but, I've just 'loosely assembled' a 600 DFC head and apparently your supposed to put a washer on either side of the blade grip bearings. I couldn't get the these bearings out and didn't want to risk damaging them so left the washers off just to see. Anyway, theres like 10mm of gap between the head block and the grip which appears to be wider than the four washers I have to install. Do these heads need to feathering shaft spacer collars? Also, has anyone else had trouble removing their bearings?

Thanks for the fast reply sacko, so no feathering shaft spacer then... I'll put it together properly tonight and see if the gap dissapears, once I get these damn radial bearings out!!!
P.S. Do you use any R48 - retainer on your head or just thread lock.

Has anyone got any experience of the blue KBDD ones? Just trying to decide which ones to get. I've seen the green ones but they are only labelled as medium? Mine will be FBL on Bx.

Cheers
