emulators work great drill damping rod to required size turn emulator 4 turns drop in forks verey easy race tec springs are straight wound more for your weight set up . im anti progressive myself . they where good before race tech and others came out

what other emulators are available?
what other brands of springs do you prefer?

I like the USD 1990-1995 GSXR750 whole front end. I think i'd just have to replace the seals if I found a decent used one. Or do you guys think most of these would be pretty abused from the USA and rebuilding my stock ones would be better. Its the age that is getting to me. Whenever I see them they are pretty jacked-up, not worth using.

I'm just trying to maximize the money I spend
I'll probably be happy with just one disc, so I don't have to replace more brake components. I'm never gonna take it to the track, and even if I do I think with my abilities race tech emulators and springs will be enough.

ALL FOR SORTING ME STRAIGHT AGAIN

thank you , ive got 12,000-13,000 dollars in it and rising ill probably never get ride of it! I think you'll be pleased with the race tech stuff i raced on it once when i had a fzr 600 front end on my vintage fz 600 worked good enough to get national #2 trophy. and thats what ill be putting in the endurance bike (gsxr 600) once we get the frame straightened.
