No internal fork mods needed — the emulator bolts between the spring and damping rod to deliver controlled compression and rebound like a modern cartridge fork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCartridge-style damping valve for damping rod forks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTunable compression and rebound circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimple installation — no fork disassembly required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold Valve technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Race Tech\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e FEGV S3501\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.55 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.3 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.75 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits damping rod style forks found on cruisers and touring bikes.

Installation does not require opening the fork leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I adjust the damping after installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Gold Valve circuits are tunable. Refer to Race Tech's tuning guide for compression and rebound adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this eliminate fork bottoming?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe emulator adds progressive damping that resists bottoming better than a fixed orifice. Combined with proper spring rate, it greatly reduces harsh bottoming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Race Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53035014160495,"sku":"200-S3501","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/6734\/6543\/files\/output_9ff927d8-49c8-4520-8ae6-ccbf4c7d0d65.png?v=1779559177","url":"https:\/\/vtwinbikers.com\/products\/race-tech-gold-valve-cartridge-emulator-200-s3501","provider":"Vtwinbikers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
