Good luck. Based on DK's test results, I installed the intiminator and used the proper fork oil weight, but kept my Burly lowering springs. Ride seems much smoother - reduced the effects of those jarring bumps/holes. If I need further improvement, will change the springs and adjust the spacer to accommodate the longer springs.

There are European products available you can consider. Ohlins make excellent shocks and fork cartridges for Sportsters which are worth looking into. Hagon make good shocks, both brands being in the EU so you shouldn't pay high taxes or shipping on them.
hello grbrown
I also shot a lot on the web to find a little more about these valves
and to see if they were compatible, I found it and I bought them.
I would have bought the ricor intiminators that these are plug-in and does not require any changes to the damper
These yss valves are like those of Racetech,
require the enlargement of the 4 holes and the addition of 2 to ensure an adequate flow of oil.
The big problem is the very high price for Italy of the two American products.
Since I'm doing an upgrade to my sporty rear replacing the rear shock absorbers with Bitubo WME I would also install an adequate front suspension to these, changing standard springs with progressive and would try to also install these valves and try to achieve an improvement.

I didn't say anything earlier, but there are some US dealers who won't sell stuff to Italy, because it disappears! Also shipping costs out of the USA are very high, as I know living in the UK. There are also import taxes and other charges to add, which increase total cost.

His choosing the Bitubos, being in Italy, that is where they are made, he probably got a great deal.
