A lot people put race tech cartridge emulators in their forks. I felt a
huge improvement when I changed the springs and put in the cartridge
emulators (probably mostly the springs). Since putting my emulators in I
have not felt the need to take them out and change the damping. I am
probably not a good enough rider to notice the subtle differences. I
knew when the damping my rear shock went but that was not subtle.

So while I agree that Triumph should have put fully adjustable
suspension on the bike I do not think this is doing to cause an issue
for most owners.
