[QUOTE="kmcminn, post: 739807, member: 982"] Cool. I would like to see how much difference there is between what valve stacks are best from a "tuned" emulsion shock and a tuned RR shock. Mine have been tuned by driving it and watching it. So I'm hoping they would be pretty close to whats needed after reservoirs are added, to cut cost on a tuning session. Ok, so this what some tech guy at Fox Shox told me. He said that just adding a hose on an emulsion shock top cap, the tapped hole(7/16?) for the schrader valve wasn't as big as the tapped hole for the factory remote reservoir top cap(9/16). He said it would be fine on a shock with a 5/8 shaft but wouldnt let enough fluid flow into the reservoir for a shock with a 7/8 shaft. Then he told me I would need to change the top cap to a remote reservior cap and it would perform like it was designed to. What size reservoirs have you been adding to these emulsion shocks? I'm wanting to say he said for best performance they needed 11" reserviors? Looking at parts on the kartec site. It looked like parts and a gallon of oil would be around 600 without shipping. But that is with the top caps fox recommened. I'm asking this to see if there is a way to do this different than what the manufacturer recommened. [/QUOTE]
