So I start to mount the Ohlins damper which should be a 5 min job right and what?Huh?  Remove front fender? The brake calipers and the front wheel!! Then loosen the handlebar and triple clamp bolts for the fork leg OMG!!! Then slide the clamp blah blah blah.  Who's the rocket scientist that designed this thing.  Why not just make it two pieces?Huh?

You can buy a split clamp.

You gotta loosen both forks at the triples and slide forks down, then slide clamp over fork. Easy if you have a lift that picks up the bike by the lower triple, but not five minutes easy.

Yes...

they don't do much online.

Give them a call. 603-524-4898

They'll ship anywhere, although their shipping charges are high IMO.

It also would not surprise me one bit if one of the sponsors here has the clamp you need also.

You only need to loosen one. It's not that difficult if you have a means to lift and support the bike. It does require front wheel removal.

If you loosen both and lower both forks, you don't need to remove the wheel...

either way I would remove the front fender first. waytogo
They can be damaged quite easily.  bang head
The whole job is easy and quite starightforward.
I would say no more than 30-45 minutes start to finish.
After you can do this----> drink
