The "emulators" are also known as "cartridge emulators" and they go into forks that do not have a cartridge; like the R model forks. The SE/SP forks ARE a cartridge fork and you dont need emulators in them. Whatever you do, do NOT cut the cartridge or the rebound shaft on your SE/SP forks.

If you wish to revalve the SE/SP type forks, you can remove the compression stack from the bottom of the cartridge. See the little piece of steel inside the tube on the bottom, the one where the bottom fork bolt threads into? Press the middle piece IN a tad. You should see a removeable clip in a groove in the tube. After removing the clip, you should be able to thread the fork bolt into the hole and use it to pull the "base valve" out. This is your compression valve and shimstack. If you were to purchase aftermarket valving, this is the piston and shimstack that would be replaced.

The rebound valve is located on the end of the small shaft inside the cartridge, and can be removed by slipping the entire rod out the bottom of the cartridge once the base valve is removed. The stock rebound valving is good, and most people never need to touch it.

When removing either valve/shimstack, you will need to grind the peened tips around the nut, so the nut is not damaged on removal. You need to grind JUST ENOUGH of the tip of so the peens are removed. And always use loctite on reassembly so the nuts wont come loose inside.

Does that help?
