Re: [ST] For Erik Miner, George K or anyone who have done RT emulators

Thanks Rick, I just ran through the RT site.  It's obvious that RT just has
the name screwed up (they refer to a Sprint RT which must have cartridge
forks too???) and although they just list 99-01 the forks are the same from
99-04.  This time I went in on a valving search rather than a product search
which gave me more info too. Also I think I just overlooked, like a pure
dummy, that the emulator is working on a whole different oil flow than that
itty bitty hole in the damper. Well back to dumping in oil and putting the
beast back together.
Again, thanks.
Rod
