<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> Brian, I learned the emulators just slide down the tube and rest on top of the damper. You can pull them out with a long grabber (mechanical fingers) or turn the forks upside down and they'll fall out. If you don't have the instructions on installation etc it's tough to find them on the internet. But there are a few places that provide some info on how to mess with them. How accurate these places are I don't know. After you add fork oil and adjust the level and then install the emulators you should readjusts the oil level. : ) They look pretty easy to adjust but I have no idea what the suggested settings are. I may consider adding emulators to my forks this winter but I'm waiting to hear from Martin on how his performed on his ride home. He may be a bit biased since he's been running for a few weeks with blown fork seals and very little oil in his forks. He did decide to not reinstall the Studibaker fork brace. It'll be interesting to hear his comments on his forks without it. The bushings on the fork tubes were quite worn with over 30K on the bike.
