I weigh 210 lbs,I changed the oil in the rear shock at the time of installing the emulators, I run 40lbs in the rear shock with the damping set at #2,I have a fork brace, I measured 5 times the amount of oil and the distance from the top of the tube, 150mm, empty, fully compressed, I drilled the holes exactly as stated in the instructions in the damper rods, the emulators are I believe installed properly with the springs pointing up towards the top of the tubes, the springs are resting on the emulators, there are washers between the springs and spacers and between the springs and the fork caps, I loosened the emulators till the washers on the yellow spring were just touching then, as said in the instructions turned two turns of pre-load onto them, I used straight 20wt Bel-Ray fork oil as stated in instructions, I had 6 inches of 3/4" PVC pipe on top of washer and spring in tubes which brought it up to the top of the tube extended. A little info on Ohio roads, I don't scrape pegs, I don't race, I don't ride two up a whole lot. Roads here are about the worst I've ever seen anywhere in the country, my mirrors droop over a big bump, the fairing shakes in its stays, the main fairing stay bolt has rusty dust around it, its tight but you can tell it shakes around. The bike is basically unridable. Everything on the race tech page calls for .95 springs and 20wt oil with two turns of pre-load with yellow springs. The stock springing is .61, I had 1.1, so, I just about doubled the springing weight. I thought something was up when I went to the nationals in Wisconsin and Vermont loaded up, almost overloaded and it smoothed out somewhat. I cut two inches off the spacers which lowered the ride height, different but not the best. I ordered the .95's and some blue springs for the emulators for grins to give me a bunch of options to play with, although, I really liked Georges suggestion of making spacers of old cut springs which I still have. Thanks all, I still love the bike, the new springs have got to make a difference.We'll see, I keep you all posted, I should get them this coming week, 1/2 hour of work, change the fork oil while I'm at it and take a ride.
