    thanks, I missed this last post and recieved my FEGV-3301 (without the "S"). These emulators came for four color coded sets of springs and I understand I need the blue 40# springs. and they came with two sets of blow off valves. One set has two little holes and the other set has 4 4 little...

    difference between the FEGC-3301 and S3301 difference between the FEGC-3301 and S3301 Yes, Race Tech said the check plate and spring options. I was guessing it might be just springs also but I guess that's kind of cynical. I don't like the idea of paying an extra $60 to select the proper...

    Yes, I'm finding many race tech emulators on amazon including their FEGV-3301 for $125 but not their FEGV-S3301 which their website calls out for our GS-1000 with 37mm fork tubes. The plain 3301 and the S3301 have the same outline dimensions but Race Tech explained that the plain 3301's are...

    holy smokes there's 90 pages in that front brake upgrade thread. I quickly gleaned that one should us CBR rotors (year and model?) and not sure which calipers.. and there is drilling of the rotors required for the spacers (that wasn't perfectly clear from your 10 point summary). and Chinese...

    This is a Mikes unit? Looks like he adapted the emulator clearance to the tube and I guess the washer is to give the spring a better surface?? I thought the interface to the damper rod had to be formed also..

    progressive springs

    haha, I don't think much of the 15year old post is outdated. I read somewhere that the my '79 GS 1000 OEM springs were progressively wound and that was new technology for the damping rod forks and the design engineers were smart back then as they are now.. If you think about it the fork oil...

    LED headlight

    Thanks also Steve for the links on the trucklite 27270C. I'm sure it's a world better then any light I ever used. Would be nice to do a side by side compare to one of the knock offs but to see better for $150 I would spend even if just for reliability.. to be clear tho this light is...

    Sonic Springs Model 05-S100 dimensions for my '79 GS1000

    Thanks again on that, yes I know. I'm gonna pull the spacers and springs and hopefully Sonic responds with the free length perhaps they sent wrong springs. If they are long we on that might lock me into the race tech if i dont have room for an adapter with mikes emulator.

    Nice on that salty monk. Thanks. I'll reach out on those adapters.. I have access to a lathe but not the time to play. Hopefully the adapters plus mikes $59 doesn't get me to the race tech $180.. And I'd hope they perform as well. I w ont have a comparison.. And yes brakes!! I was pretty...

    progressive springs

    IDK what a Neromancer is and I thought we were supposed to work within old threads via search rather then create new.. and I thought I was helping to correct a technical reference but later in the thread I did see the correct method.. sorry for the trouble,

    Thanks Tom and dorkburger.. 180lbs vs my 160lbs and 1/2 preload on lighter springs makes me wonder what the minimum preload I can run. And I would love to save a little penny on the emulators buying Mikes XS if I could get those adapters but I think they are gone forever.. funny everyone I...

    Thanks all for your responses. Can someone post a link for the new Trucklite LED for my 7" round headlight (actual bulb diameter 6.75" ). Is it the 7" round bulb we purchase for our buckets?? Oh, and I know I'm gonna get killed for bringing this up during our trade war but has anyone tried...

    And thank you also Steve for responding.. right now I get zero sag when I sit on the bike which I now know sounds bizarre.. Thats' why something must be up. And as for the fork oil I believe I followed instructions to install the springs and with the forks fully extended add oil until a certain...

    Sonic Springs Model 05-S100 dimensions for my '79 GS1000

    Thanks for your response. I would think that I followed the instructions provided or on their website for preload.. But it was 2 years ago and the forks are assembled so I won't know until I open them up. I have a fairing on ther and getting a new headlight so plan to do the work in one fell...
