I would have been very interested, but I have taken an easier way and bought a bike with cartridge forks. It is remarkable how firm its compression damping is when braking hard, and how soft it is when hitting a bump.
Modifying the Fazer with higher viscosity oil (SAE 20) and linear springs (1 kg/mm) do help for spirited riding but reduce comfort and still feels springy. Still the Ace feels much firmer when braking even when it has just SAE 5 oil and 0.80 kg/mm springs and it is a heavier bike (fazer standard dual rate springs are 0.75/1.4!)
If those emulators do really work like cartridges, they are a must. My modding parts are for sale by the way.
