has anyone installed emulators in their forks? Are they worth the effort/$$$? Where did you buy them?

Hey Tom think the links are in the tech section. IMHO which is just that the progressive springs are great I would go heavy on fork oil emulators a luxury unless you are going to slam corners all day. Hows your back now the air ride oh boy that does a back good!
