Do you have an update. Do you buy any in the end?
Thanks

Hi Pete,
Never got an answer from Brooke Suspension so I'm going to use the Racetech system - hopefully I'll be getting it fitted in 2 to 3 weeks time.
Cheers
Paul

Hi, I'm also interested and wonder if you've made any progress with this?

Hi,
My bike is away with RTR Motorcycles having some dyno work done - I have asked them to fit the Racetech Emulator and springs - I'll report back once the bike is returned.
Cheers
Paul

Hi,
I was busy at work so M.E. Motorcycles of Burton have just fitted the emulators for me - they didn’t give any problems - once the weather warms up I’ll collect the bike and report back how it handles.

I bought Racetech Emulators and springs from PDQ in the UK
http://www.pdq1.com/brand.php?BrandID=11 who were very helpful and gave a fast service.
Cheers
Paul

Just wondering how these emulators have performed as I'm also interested in the same. Cheers.

I now have a set of emulators and springs appropriate for my weight also from Racetech. Hopefully fitting on Saturday

I’ve still to ride the bike - but even stationary the bike seems better supported and less prone to dive when I push down on the bars against the brakes.
I’ll post details once it’s been ridden - my bike is currently having some jetting/CDI/YPVS work done by a local Dino operator.
Cheers
Paul

Ok, I finally got around to buying some race tech fork emulators and correct springs for my weight. They are fitted and a decent ride is planned for tomorrow. Only done a few miles so far and there is a noticeable difference

I can barely contain myself any longer?
