HI I just pulled the trigger on a set of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RACE-TEC ... mainQ5f100
Are they that simple to install? I heard somewhere they need to be braze welded?
THANKS

From the article
Anyone with $125 and a little mechanical know-how can install a set of Cartridge Emulators, or you can always use one of Race Tech's authorized shops or any shop proficient enough to rebuild forks. The required tools -- a small flat head screw driver, an allen key, a long allen socket, pliers, a power drill, a hack saw, and a tape measure -- will be found in most people's tool boxes or can be bought relatively cheaply. You will also need some way to support your bike while the forks have been removed. A scissors jack with wood across the lower frame rails might suffice.
I didn't read the whole page, just quickly scaned across.
