Here are some picture of the factory set up of steering damper as requested by a member.  It basically attaches to the same bracket where the horn is attached.  The other side attaches to the triple tee's bottom side, there is already a threaded tap in there.

Thanks for the pics Singh! Very helpful.
I'm assuming the 1st photo is the bracket with damper removed, showing the mount hole at center.
As soon as I get my R65 back, I'll check to see if the mount is similar.
Also, I've lightened your photos just a bit, to perhaps show the damper placement better.

I think I posted this before, but here it is again.  I am running a damper on my 1982 R65LS.

The damper that fits the R65 is the NHK ODM500:
