Anyone one installed Race Tech cartridge emulators on 1985 or later "Brembo" forks?

The title says it all. I'm looking at putting the cartridge emulators on my 86 and curious what kind of a job it is getting the forks apart and replacing seals etc.

Thanks

Thanks - It looks like only the GS owners have been DIY installers.

I found the instructions from RaceTech for '70's forks to be good -- still needed my Clymer. RaceTech was also good in responding to questions.

Never installed them in BMW forks, but I've installed several pairs in Japanese damper rod forks. They all seem to need alittle machine work for the valve to seat correctly on the damper rod. And since they add about 1" to the damper rod you need to deal with spring length to get the ride height right.

They do make a difference with the right fork oil.
