Howdy MD and VA Airheads,

Who here has installed and can recommend the Racetech emulators?   I'm 
looking for improvements to my R90/6's handling.   Is it worth the 
effort and expense if I'm not a particularly aggressive rider?

I'm more on the "cautious" side but I do want the best handling and 
comfort that I can reasonably achieve.

Thanks in advance,

Eric Zwicky

Afternoon Eric. I have added Racetech emulators to my my R100RS, R100RT and R100GS. 
The transformation with the handling is remarkable. I have not done it on a /6. Your need emulators and matched springs from Racetech. It?s probably about $350 all up with oil. 
Racetechs website can provide all the information and part #?s. I scoured the web and found good pricing from Amazon and Ebay. 
The alternative is to buy my old R100RS from Chris Rizzo. It has Gold Valve emulators and springs plus all the mods you could ever want. 
Cheers Chris

Chris isn?t exaggerating.  The impact on my ?82 RS was significant. It had old school ?progressive? springs in it prior, which is no comparison to the emulator set up in performance. 

The ?guts? of your /6 forks are different than the ?82, but I have no reason to believe you won?t see a similar improvement in handing.

Eric,

Agree with Chris.  Can speak to a /6 but I replaced a set of Progressive springs with Gold Valve emulators in my '71 CB750 (there, I said it ?) and the improvement was definitely worth it.

I had to buy a set of linear wound springs, a set of Racetech's damper rod adapters ($20 pair of machined spacers that sit between the emulators and the tops of the damper rods), and drill a couple holes in the bottom of the damper rods but aside from this the install was a by-the-book fork disassembly / reassembly.

Some bikes require brazing of the damper rods if the bike has forks with external rebound adjusters.

Regards,
Kevin

Hi Eric.? 

Is it "worth" it to install RacTech Emulators?? I sure think so.? Completely transformed my /6 forks from something out of the 70's to forks of (at least) the 1990's with real compression and most importantly REBOUND.

Bill Lambert and I did our RS forks and very happy with the results.? Best $300 I've spent in 20 yrs on my R90S.

Matter of fact, the forks were such an improvement that I didn't realize how bad my Koni adjustable shocks were and led me to discover that after 20+ yrs they were still on the #1 setting (out of 3).? Simple click to #2 setting and my bike felt well balanced and wonderful.

Mt $.02 says do it.??

My best........ Mike

 Eric,I have Chris's 1995 RT. It replaced the exact same bike but with less miles on it. My present bike with the Racetechs is night and day great compared to the old RT . It wasn't the mileage on the old RT that made the suspension lacking. It was just not great to begin with. I fiddle flipped with viscosities of fork oil on the old RT, and nothing seemed to help. The RT with the emulators is a blast. You will not be disappointed. A dramatic improvement. I hope this helps.

Hey Eric,

Not addressing RaceTech, just ?improved handling?, I bought a pair of Gazi rear shocks from TC and am very pleased with the Improvment in handling.

Good discussion on the lists!

I don?t have the emulators but can say that at a rally tech time Tom Cutter was not a fan of the Progressive replacement fork springs.  

For those of you who know or have been in one of Tom?s excellent Q & A sessions ?not a fan? is a rather mild recollection.

   Eric,

    I agree with all who have weighed in.   I had been riding my new to me ?84 RS for about 4 years when I began to become frustrated with the bikes ill mannered handling and my continued failed efforts to sort it out.   An unnerving weave or squirm in the chassis had been cause for concern.  Most notable on protracted sweepers running on a slight downhill mountain grade.  Neutral or off-throttle in particular.  Uphill, throttle open, not so much.   Nonetheless, the bike would pick up a difficult to control wobble or oscillation in the chassis.   Unacceptable, I thought.  

   RaceTech emulators were installed, various fork oil weights were tried. Harley Davidson Type-E proved positive.  The ride quality did not improve in any noteworthy way.  Bumps in the road are still met with equal feel at the handlebar.  The handling however has been nicely improved.  While enjoying the mountain pass, the bike is far less likely to exhibit wobble or weave.    

  Dare I say, the recalcitrant rubber cow has been exorcized. 

   Just passin? through.

   Bill.

Eric, I have Gold Valve Emulators in my two R80G/Ss and like them, see
attached, but I have the stock springs in my R90S and did similarly to what
Tom Cutter recommends, see attached, and I am happy with that set up as
well.

GVEs require much more work, IOW try a set up, assemble it and ride the
bike, then try another set up and see if you like it, etc. Using the stock
springs method is less cumbersome.

But once either method is set up for you, routine mx is all that is
required.

Don't forget the rear suspension as well :-)

Mac I would suggest one of the benefits of The Gold Valve Emulators is that
it does take a little time and requires disassembly of the front suspension.
What else are we going to do with ourselves. This is a very good time
wasting project with cooler temps coming soon.

 

Cheers Chris

'heads,

This is just a follow up on my previous question from what I learned from
the general airheads listserv.

1.)  The pressure coming from the dipstick hole is normal and not
indicative of excessive crankcase pressure.

2.) The pushrod seals are likely just failing due to age, not excessive
crankcase pressure as I suspected.

I hope this is useful to some of you.

Cheers,
Fred

A new airhead repair shop is opening just west of Philadelphia.

I am personally acquainted with the quality of the work performed by Clay
Wheaton and recommend him highly. He will receive the keys to his newly
renovated shop space this Saturday, then paint the interior walls, and
start the move in process.

Good to know and I wish him well. 

Having a web presence only on Facebook will limit his audience though. I canceled FB like others, so I won?t seethe good work he does. Perhaps he will consider a standard website at some point.
