Ending a Monday with a swift kick in the pants...

In the US - there has to be somebody making them. I fitted Maxtons (UK made). Are they worth it? - to me every penny. I gained a good 20kph in corners. The Gold Valve Emulators are ONLY for R3T

You ask about exhausts. The majority of the gains come from changing the headers. So yes many of the 1200USD sets will be better than simply swapping the end can.

Don't get me started on lights - I am FUSSY.

Are the gold valve thingies a good option for the touring folks?

We have since machined a few "spacers" that tighten up the clearances on the bottoming cone piston a bit more than just using thick walled tubing. This improves the dampening even more. NO, I do not want to make more, but the details are below.
1.) Easy and cheap - 1.5 in. OD tubing, .200 wall thickness, 1.575 in long.
or,
2.) Machined for closer clearances - 1.522 OD, .955 ID, 1.575 long. - add .125 in wide by .050 deep slot along outside.
Place on top of bottoming cone (underneath spring), and cut 1.575 inches from pre-load tube above spring. Cut less if more pre-load is desired. If using Progressive springs, you will need to cut for the pre-load in addition to what Progressive recommends for the spring used.

Somewhere I have a document that originated from Wayne Tripp that identifies a DIY set of mod's to do to R3 forks. It was posted on @warp9.9 technical website.
