Hi hawksters--this is what I've done to install emulators. If I've left out
any steps, tell someone.

Procedure:
I assume that the wheel is off, the fender and brakes are off, the axle is
out, etc.
1. Take the end caps off first because it's easier to hold them with the
triple clamp than anything else
2. Take the forks off the bike. Hold the bike up with something. duh.
3. Dump the oil, take out the washers and springs.
4. Take the retaining bolt out of the bottom, through the hole provided.
5. Tip the forks upside down, and tap the whole thing on a block of wood.
The damper rod will fall out, with assorted pieces. It might be a good idea
to do this into an oil drain pan.
6. Drill enough 5/16" holes in the damper rod to give 3 pairs through it,
each 90 degrees from the previous.
7. Deburr everything, even the Emulators, if you want.
8. Set your Emulators how you want them. I use 3 turns in from loose.
9. Clean the chips and crud off everything.
10. Drop the dampers back in--with the associated bits.
11. Put the retaining bolts back in through the bottom.
12. Drop the emulators in, big end down. Make sure they sit flat on the
damper rod.
13. Collapse the fork, and pour in your fork oil of choice. I've used 15w
Motul, and PJ-1, and ?
14. Pump the forks to suck the oil into the lower part of the leg.
15. I use 5 inches of air space, with the forks collapsed, no spring.
16. Put the spring in, and the washer on top, and the end cap, and put it
all together and RIDE!
EASY!
soon to be in moving panic mode,
