Or you could buy the other substitutes.

Ever seen a set of Emulators? For your 400 odd dollars, ya don't get much, materials/labour wise like.

Yes did you look at the links?
The alternatives are not $400
They need to be anodised as well.

there goes $8.59

For you city slicker types.

Nope, I didn't follow the links.

Make them out of brass if ya don't wanna annodise them for whatever reason.

They should be hard anodised
its because the springs ride on them if you had followed the link you would see that there is other ones available at half the price of the Race tech ones.
if you were to copy them you would still need a pair to copy to ball park the orifice and the spring tension and the shim sizes.
Someone like Sketchy could then knock them out on the CNC.

I did mention that if he knew someone with a set, he could copy them.

The brass racetech ones don't seem to wear away with the springs resting on them, not that I suggested anything wrong with annodising.

It doesn't need Sketchy to make them on a CNC. They can be spun on a lathe, and the ports filed by hand.

it doesn't need to be done on a cnc but it makes more sense to do a run of them.
You also need the set up specs for the damper rod holes

Economically it might make sense but I've never built two pre 82's the same - or used the same forks on two. You're dealing with one offs - and the specs you finish up with won't necessarily transfer to anything else. It's a very limited market here too.

I am not sure the emulators are that different between the models just the set up and the size of the emulator.

Jeez, you lot bang on.
What about bushing these up? If your a tight prick like me. Apparently quality is good. Think I might.

Great find
But You posted a link rookie mistake Drew can't click on these, he is too busy.
They are very inexpensive but remember Drew doesn't want to pay $400 for emulators

I followed his link. Good price if they're the right size.

My experience of buying them was prior to them being available from many sources, so I guess I'm out of touch.

My one has some even cheaper.......... but I have no idea what they are like.
I do know a guy who has won a few national titles (no names)has used both the YSS ones and the Racetech Gold valve emulators and noticed no difference.
