Thought it would be nice to have a data base of sorts for those that have installed Race Tech Gold Valve Emulators. Assuming the directions are followed to drill 4 additional holes in the damper rod, and original preload established by cutting the spacer. the following information may help save inmates a bit of trial and error, or at least give others a pretty good starting point for set up. Yes, we can do a sag measurement, but the less digging into the forks the better, I say.
Please list the following: (this assumes you are happy with your current setting and would recommend it to others.) Also, let's keep this a data base without criticism. Thank you!

1. My weight with riding gear:
2. The spring weight (85, 90 etc.):
3. The number of orifice holes in the emulator:
4. The level of oil from top of extended fork with no springs with or w/o emulators installed:
5. Or the amount of oil into each leg:
6: Which color spring on the emulator:
7. How many turns of compression on the emulator spring:
8. Description of how bike behaves on the street, gravel, trail:
9. Any other helpful set-up data:

Might want to add how many holes are drilled in the emulator disk.

How would you describe the amount of preload? Deviation from stock spacer length?
