Racetech springs

[erickdan]

I'm ordering the RaceTech springs and I've seen people here recommend the gold seal valve emulators as well. I'm not sure what those are or if they are required. Can/should I do just the springs or do I have to buy both?

Also, I already bought the fork seals. Do I have to buy dust seals as well?

You can change the springs without using the emulators. You don't have to replace the dust seals, as long as they're in good condition.

Hey, thanks!

So what are the valve emulators? Is there already a set on my bike? It's stock still.

So what are the valve emulators?

Here's Race Tech's FAQ on their products.

Is there already a set on my bike? It's stock still.

No, they are not an OEM product. You have to purchase them either directly from Race Tech or through a parts dealer, or motorcycle dealer, that deals with Parts Unlimited or Tucker Rocky for example.

Thanks squiggy, that FAQ pretty much answered all my questions
