Rcatech emulators on a R100RS

Chris Kennedy helped me put in mine at Dale’s Tech day 2 years ago. Not a super difficult job, but it helps having someone with some experience for guidance. 

FWIW.

The RaceTech springs as well. The upgrade is noticed more in how the bike handles than in ride quality over the bumpy stuff.   It is difficult to say whether or not the Progressive spring will live in harmony with the emulator.  Depends on which factory technician you might ask.
