There's plenty around here, they look like reservoirs after all the rain.

Default Re: Emulators.. which ones?, pros/cons

I've had Racetech ones in my curvy for quite a few years now. I've stuck with the standard emulator springs and set them to 2 turns of emulator preload. I did drill out the holes as I knew no better, but you only notice the difference at full compression, which for me is pretty rare.

The difference in riding on B-roads is pretty big, the front fairly floats over the smaller stuff and is only really bothered by the bigger ones. Brake dive is essentially unchanged. I use 15W generally, 20W didn't help much - I know that not all 15W are equal but it's a guide. In stock for the forks weren't bad but a bit crude, and choppy country roads really showed them up. All that's a distant memory now! I made the mistake of going for progressive springs, should have got linear, but on the plus side with a pillion you can squash all the softness out with the preload adjusters.
