    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I recall reading that with progressive spring replacements in the front forks that no air pressure is recommended. How about using any air pressure with catridge emulators?
 
air pressure is almost never recommended; With an 1100E at least there is an equalizer tube, otherwise the imbalance can be destabilizing
 
Air pressure is just a way of adding preload or slightly changing spring rate. It's better to get the spring setup for your weight rather than rely on air.

You can actually change oil height to achieve something similar but I would think that's beyond what we'll notice for average street riding.

Only for adding air. After you tighten the air lock screws the air in the forks become independent ?

No, I'm pretty sure they stay open. Those screws don't close the air passage, they just keep it from rotating on the fork tube. You don't have to open them to add air. Not completely sure as I don't run any air in mine.
