i don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. is it one of those goofy things that is supposed to put the air flow into the throttle body with a spin on it? if so, then forget using one. just another gimmick.

Sorry, I should have entered some info.. Ricor - Intiminator Valve

Patented Inertia Active dampening for damper rod front forks. This is the only product on the market that is smart enough to know if the wheel is trying to move or if the chassis is trying to move. We give you the best of worlds, a more stable chassis and a faster wheel response over bumps. This product will completely transform the front forks of your Harley. The Intiminator sits on top of your stock damper rod forcing the oil through high quality deflected discs found in top of the line shock absorbers. When the front tire hits a bump then the inertia of that bump opens the inertia valve instantly allowing for a faster response. Installation is easy. Drain the fork oil, remove the spring, drop in the Intiminator, add oil and the spring and away you go. *Sold in pairs.

*Amsoil 5 weight fork oil is REQUIRED with these valves*

I used to have a problem bottoming out frequentley on my fronst forks, I just switched to SE fork oil and it made a huge improvement, never known anyone to use these but would be interested to hear.
Try the SE fork oil first, much cheaper than these...

when installing the chrome lower forks on my 08 streetglide i put in the screaming eagle heavy oil, it made such an improvement that i'd not want it to ride any other way. far better handling. there are also emulators, that a company makes, i think it might be progressive gold emulators that are supposed to improve the handling of the front forks also. they're supposed to emulate a cartridge fork from what i understand. the heavy se oil worked wonders if handling and smooth ride is what you're looking for.

These things are nothing short of amazing!
I put them in my ultra...the high speed wobble is minimal, the road feel is greatly improved and the absorbtion and rebound are simply amazing from a harley front end.

I actually like the valves so much that I just bought Edelbrock Ias shocks for my truck because they have the Ricor valves in them.

An alternative to them are Race Tech Emulators. Both devices fit in the front forks to provide improved damping control, more like a modern sport bike has as standard.
