John used to do the best brackets for the Kawasaki dampers, remade bottom screws (wider) and quality weld on top brackets. sold them as Scooter Loopy when I bought mine. Im not sure if hes still making them, but if he is get a set....

Sef,
Are you sure you want Kwacka dampers? They look trick, but you don't want damping on compression, only on rebound. When you go over a bump, you want the springs to absorb the bump without restriction, and then you want the damper to resist the springs pushing the fork-links straight back down again (or else you get a pogo affect). This is why standard dampers can be compressed with ease, but are hard to pull apart again.
Kwacka dampers apply equal damping in both directions.
