You mentioned above that they don't drop straight in on a pointy, I can confirm that they do.
A question though, how do the measurements of the debrix copies compare to the RaceTech items? As I understand it the Debrix ones are not actually designed to fit the SV but the Harkey, it just so happens that they are close enough that they happen to and benefit from a set of custom adapters.

Why do you suppose that Racetech have two different part numbers for the SV650 emulator? It's because the curvy emulator does not correctly fit the pointy forks, no matter what you may think. The emulator is designed to fit closely into the end of the damper rod so it is positively located and will seal correctly under all conditions. Feel free to bodge your own forks, but please don't suggest this is the correct way to do things as it simply isn't.
Urbanfireblade: nice job on the forks and a great set of pictures. I would suggest that you make the adapters a generous clearance fit on the emulators however, because if you ever want to adjust them then you want to be sure they will locate themselves into the end of the damper rods correctly when you drop them back into the forks.
