Great gadget,I have them on my Laverda,Cerani forks,Terry Hays sells
them,thats Shock Treatment,with non cartride forks,easiest description is by dirt bike analogy, I fitted a set of Kawaski 125 MX non cartridge fork to Husky Automatic,great MX fork,handled big jumps great but was horrible on small square edged bumps,fit the emulators and it was still great on big jumps=slow speed damping,but it socked up all the small square edged bumps= high speed damping,thats the speed the fork moves at responding to bumps.So on a road bike it = way better traction on all kinds of bumps and still holds the bike up under brakes and allows the fork to still work.
