ok, let me make a recommendation:
For the extra long 6mm allen socket. It has to handle a lot of torque, better be 1/2" drive. This is not a time you want a ball end or Harbor Freight crap. I have this one, I've used it several times, and I've used it on a 700 ft-lbs impact a few times too:

I took out the emulators and dialed in another turn for more compression resistance. I felt I was still getting too much fork dive. The low speed is firm but the high speed was too soft before. The emulators are now at 4 turns in. I can definitely feel a difference.

Either I wrote it wrong or I measured it wrong. This weekend I should have the answer.

I started the mods to add the emulators to my bike today and for the post kats I made a bushing to plug all the holes in the top of the damping rod as well as use the bushing to center the emulator instead of using the circlip that comes with the emulator. I am attaching a couple images to show the modified rods and if anyone wants to do a post and would like to go this route please let me know.
The bushing had about a .002 interference fit so it is in there pretty good and should not have issues with trying to pop out.

That's purtty.
Does the rebound holes still need to be brazed?
And I should mention I don't yet have an answer to Arsenic's question. I have not done anything to my bike, including riding, for the past 3 weeks.
But I will get the answer posted up.Last edited by squiggy; 04-01-2009, 01:12 PM.

So I picked the #2 setting for my rebound damping. If I don't like it I can always go bigger or close it down and redrill a smaller hole.

Since you stated that you closed them per Race Tech's instructions you brazed the holes closed?

Race Tech's web site states the emulators are the same from 1988-2006, so yes they would.
I actually welded 2 of the 3 holes and left the 2nd rebound hole open as RT states to select a hole that you want open and keep that one for the rebound.
EDIT: Oh I should mention that in the instructions they say 4 turns for a heavy rider (What is considered a heavy rider?) RT says over 260 lbs.

squiggy,
Question for ya here, Did the RT FMBO 41152 P (15mm wide) outer bushing work for you? I have the 06 750 and my outer bushings are only 8mm wide and the narrowest that RT has is the FMBO 41122 P which is 12 mm wide. I ordered the stock replacements but if anyone reads this tut and has a newer post they could end up not getting the correct parts.

I did notice the difference when I first bought them and even posted a thread about them.
I had no problems with the wider bushings on my forks.
