I have not finished them up to snap a picture, doing 2 more this weekend and i can get you a pic. it is no where close to hitting my leg at all, the old one was much shorter but this one works way better

Steering Damper
I can see where you have it mounted to the frame but where does the other end attach ? Usually it is from the frame to the fork legs but your doesn't look like it is mounted like that.

should not need steering damper
Because of the relaxed steering geometry (large amount of trail) on a HD you should NEVER get head shake on a mechanically sound bike and there should not be any advantage to a steering damper. If you are getting head shake without the damper more than likely you either have loose or worn steering head bearings.
Steering dampers are designed to work on sport bikes that have a ridgid frame, the HD does not, and minimal trail with near vertical forks.
