JHS preload top caps for curvy and springs.

Progressive springs are good at what they are intended for ie their progressiveness makes up for when there is poor damping and a cost effective fix, but ultimatelt linear and correct damping will perform better.

Can anyone recomend a company that makes emulators and how much are they likely to cost???

RechTech do both the emulators and springs. I got both for my Curvy. Do a search on this topic and you will find reams of information.

Racetech emulators are also known as gold valves if you start looking for them for sale on t'internet.

Thanks for that. I've found out that PDQ are distributers for race tech. I'll send them an email today and find out more. After some thinking, linear springs with emulators would be what im after.
Has anyone fitted these at all. I've read some bits online about it and theres mention of drilling parts. I havn't been able to find fitting instructions for the SV

Yes I fitted racetech springs and emulators to my 2001 curvy. Many folks on here have also fitted these parts, use the search function on this forum and you will find plenty of tips.

If you can use a spanner, you can do this mod. The SV forks are the same as pretty much any damper rod forks, so nothing special to worry about. The instructions that come with the emulators will tell you how to proceed.

Nice one, Thanks. Shouldn't be a problem then. Really looking forward to getting the front end handling sorted now. Hopefully have everything ordered up in the next couple of days. Then lots of riding before lots more tinkering away on other little bits!
