There's 5W in there now and it dives like a freakin' submarine - I'm doing incremental steps to correct it starting with springs and oil. Over the winter I will work on emulators: I just don't want the down time and all the drilling and such right now.

I'm not a crazy fast rider by any stretch of the imagination (I have no doubt that any number of people here could out-ride me in the twisties) so I'm trying to find the compromise between stiffness and a softer ride.

I have heard that emulators may be overkill for the street, but I dont know how bad those internals are. Find out if the gsxr stuff would fit. I could send you th eparts off of mine if it would help.
