Racetech Gold Valve question

#1

Post by elslimdiablo »

I am currently installing a racetech gold valve emulator kit. The qr code for the instructions for my gl doesn't work. I click on the race tech link and it won't load. If I search emulators, it takes me to their usual site. ???? My question is, where are the spring steel washers that go on each side of the spacer. Are they included with the kit? Am I supposed to source them local...early GL1000 didn't have these. They're not listed in any parts diagram. Is there a specific dimension? I have emailed them a couple days ago, but haven't had a response. Ive watched all sorts of videos, all of them have very specific looking washers. A diagram on there website labels them as spring steel washers. The DVS I received makes no mention. I had other questions, but watching a bunch of videos answered them. Anyone that installed these on their GL1000, could you give a fella ahand?

I did receive an email from them. The new springs come with the hardware I believe was missing, they just haven't arrived yet. Thanks for reaching out

I know this doesn't address your hardware, but I did buy a bike from a fella that put them in a 75. Here is the link for what he did.

Perhaps it will help you set them up. anim-cheers1
