I made up some adapters to run racetech emulator clones available through MikesXs on my bike. I ran a few extra sets off and I am offering the adapters and the mods to your fork rods as a package. Here is a link to the emulators https://www.mikesxs.net/product/27-1086.html And here is what you will get from me:

Stock fork rod

I then drill additional compression holes in the bottom of the rods

I then weld the stock rebound hole shut and re-drill it to 1.57mm. I can also drill the hole to your spec or leave it stock if you like.

Image

Here are the adapters, they replace the stock rod top and are secured with dog point set screws instead of the roll pin. This is for better flow to the emulator.

Here are the finished rods and also shown with the emulators sitting on top.

The cost for this is $80 for both rods plus return shipping. I will need your rods sent to me stripped down like in the first picture and cleaned/degreased as best as possible. There is also a seal for the piston( piece under the stock rod top) that needs to be removed. It is already removed in the first picture. They will be returned to you ready to go looking like the 2nd to last picture. Paypal is ok but you need to add 3% if not sent as a gift. You can also add in the same shipping amount that it took to send the rods to me for the return shipping. Cash sent in the box with the rods is also ok.

Here is a little bit of info on emulator installation in general. First off, the installation procedure and picture on the resource site is not correct whether you are using the racetech brand or the clones. The top of the rod needs to be opened up so oil can flow through it and through the emulator. They do not work if oil is not flowing though it. You can machine the top of the stock rod top off and use an adapter like race tech does or replace it entirely with a new top like I did. If you are planning on running emulators you will need some machine work done or some very careful sanding/filing.

You also do not need to weld or close holes shut on the bottom compression holes. The holes on the bottom of the rod serve no purpose with the emulators other than a port to let the oil through and up to the emulator. This is why additional holes are drilled, to give more surface area for the oil to flow freely.

Although I have not yet reassembled these FINELY machined adapters from Jeff, I can attest the fit is precise not only to the damper rods, but to the emulators from MikesXS as well. VERY nice work! :clap: :clap: :clap:
