    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Dampening Rod

Salty Monk explained how I should drill out the holes in my dampening rod to install the emulators once I get those in next week. However, the question came up as to which holes I am supposed to drill.

In this picture:

the bottom holes (left side of picture) go all the way through the rod and I assume are the ones I drill, correct?

What do the two small top ones (right side), that do not go all the way through the rod, do? Am I supposed to drill those as well?
 
Definitely the bottom ones out to 5/8" and you'll have to drill an extra set as well (you drill them perpendicular to the set immediately below them).

The top ones are rebound damping holes and are left as stock.

The point in doing this, I'm assuming, is basically to eliminate any damping by the damping rod since you're using the emulators in their place? I've never installed them myself so I'm asking..
 
Yes but on the compression circuit only. The damper rod still controls rebound damping and you adjust that by changing oil weight.

Basically if 15w felt good before it'll prob feel fine after as well.
 
Thanks for the info Dan. Sadly, I have no clue what the PO had in there before so I'm starting out at 15w.
