    So basicly the spacer would be a cup that the emulator sat in, and had an opening in the bottom for oil to flow through.

      I also posted this earlier... I have a standard and the kit ssays to "not" use the spacer in the standard. The race techs. Were 150 not 250. I used the stock springs uncut. The. Racetech guys said I need 1 inch of preload. With the racetch emulators (not mikes) the stock springs on the standard stick out exactly 1 inch. So no other springs needed. I need to pull mine out because I think they were 20mms or so I didn't think they were 27 but it was a last year that I put themin... even with the stock old springs I am very capable of keeping up with my friends on sportbikes!

        Now that I think about it and with a ruler to reference it they were probobly the same as marty's. They were just a tad bigger than an inch which as you all know is 25.4mm

                  Hi guys, I'm following this discussion and was searching around for other brand options.

                  I found this option for harleys at JP Cycles for $40.

                  Anyone got any experience with it?

                    Those are for 41mm HD forks and are way too large to fit into the XS 37mm forks.

                    Might be a nice fit in the 41mm FJ forks though...

                      Figured that was the case but didn't know. You guys are amazing with your level of expertise on the nuances of these great bikes.
