Race Tech Gold Valve Cartridge Emulator - Harley Touring
About Race Tech
Race Tech has been re-valving and re-springing motorcycle suspension since 1985, with Gold Valve emulators and custom-rate springs that let a rider dial damping to their actual weight and riding style rather than a factory average.
Transform your Harley Touring damping rod forks into fully tunable cartridge-style suspension with the Race Tech Gold Valve Cartridge Emulator. This innovative upgrade replaces the restrictive fixed orifice design, allowing for precise adjustment of your front end's performance. Experience a more controlled and responsive ride, especially when pushing your bagger through the twisties or hitting rough patches.
