Damper rod forks are common on motorcycles, and they’re total crap! Damper rods are an inherently flawed way to create suspension damping, but lots of bikes get them because they’re cheap to manufacture. Upgrade your damper-rod fork to work like a well-tuned cartridge fork with Race Tech’s Gold Valve Emulators. In this episode, Ari shows you how to install GVEs and goes over how to modify the damper rod, set oil height, and determine the proper preload-spacer length.
