With the Race Tech emulators you must drill the holes in the dampening rods out to allow the massive amount of oil to move through the system. I didn't have the ability to drill into round pipe and paid a machinist $20 to drill and chamfer the holes.

Three years later and I am still very happy with the performance of my front end using stock springs, added pre-load, and Race Tech Cartridge Emulators.

I've had experience with many high end conventional damping systems. Some work better than others but what we have that they don't is the inertia valve. Our system is the only system in the world for the front forks of a motorcycle that can give two different repsonses depending on if the chassis is trying to move or if the tire is trying to move. This allows us to provide the optimum response for the tire as well as the chassis.
