Will 35mm CB750 Emulators Fit in 33mm CB400F fork tubes ?
« on: February 20, 2012, 07:18:09 PM »
Does anyone know if the Emulators for the 35mm fork tubes on either the CB550 or CB750 will physically fit inside the 33mm forks of the CB400F ? I Know that RT sells an "adapter" for the Emulators for the CB400F...and I'm just guessing that they may use the same size Emulators...? I may have access to a pair of Emulators that fit the CB750...and just thought I'd ask if anybody has ever tried it.
                                                       
                                                                              Thanks  :)

The adapters that Race Tech has are for enabling the emulators to properly fit on top of the damper rod when necessary. I would give Race Tech a call with your questions. They are great people to work with.

I'll call them when I'm ready to order their adapters..but if I already have the Emulators they may ask me what model I have...and then tell me I NEED to purchase the correct ones for the CB400F...I was just trying to see if anyone else had tried the swap.I can get the ones for the CB550 & CB750 from someone for less than 1/3 the price of new RT..and I think they are the exact same size part.Just wanted to do a bit of research first...before considering my plan.  ;) :)

Have any of you members done a comparison between the Race-Tech Emulators & the ones from Mikes XS ? A real swap type of test ? I can afford the Mikes XS ones a lot easier than the $170 RT ones...and I just wondered if there is a noticeable difference between the two...
                                                  Thanks, Bill  :)
