Ricor vs Racetech
I have researched the Ricor Intiminators. Looks like a good product. I see that Racetech makes the imulator. Does anyone know what the difference between the two? Racetech is a little bit less in price. I have been around Racetech in the motocross world and they do some killer suspension for dirtbikes so I figure the imulator should be good.???

I have no experience with the RT Gold Valve Emulators, but i understand how they work and I've only heard positive results. The Ricor Intiminators are similar to the RT valves, with the addition of an inertia valve circuit, this feature provides a valve that seperates chassis input and wheel input, allowing greater resistance to "brake dive" while still offering great compliance. I have been modifying and tuning these for a few years and Have come up with a very good recipe, so far all users have been very impressed.

I have the RaceTechs, drilling out the damper tube was easy enough.. but they also want you to cut a spacer to fit in the top of the tube to compress the springs more (unless you buy their springs), and with that spacer, putting everything back together was a pain in the butt..but there's a noticeable difference in the front end the way the bike holds in turns better and going over small bumps isn't as stiff anymore
