Pointies need a spacer on top of the damper rod to hold the emulator in place centrally. The bushing on the emulator is too small for the pointy damper rod hole so can fail to seal properly (outside diameter is ok). I've never heard of a pointy being modied without a spacer, but as others have made these spacers (I had them made by a friend) they would be best to give the diemensions of both parts so you can see the mismatch. Curvies have a smaller hole in top of the damper rod.
The stock top of spring spacer is left unchanged for a pointy and cut for a curvey due to presence of pre-load adjuster or not
