Ok guys I have a drz 110 and thinking about the front suspension for this bike. Now I did the research and was looking at the E-6 forks that BBR offers and than I saw that two bros offers heavy duty fork springs, emulators, and long travel damp rods. Before I go on I am not wanting to spend much money on this bike. I'm not being cheap or anything I just want to get a decent set up for my bike. my friends and I just plan on using it as a pit bike at a few races. Anyways I weigh at around 170-176 and was wondering which set up would be better for me. Is it worth getting the E-6 or am I better off getting going with the heavy duty fork springs, emulators, and long travel damp rods from two bros?

BBR E-6: I have them, they work great. 15w oil and stiffer springs will do the trick. They look great too. If youre looking into a rear end setup, this is a great choice.

Stock: Emulators, 15w oil, and stiffer springs will work out great. Theyre more tunable for your riding style and terrain type. Great if youre trying to save and if youre a bit heavier. About an inch shorter than the BBR E-6. Better for stock rear end.

Not sure if emulators would work with the BBR E-6, you can call up BBR and see wuts up. But it would be perfect if they do work.

if you have to change the springs and oil in e-6's it's not that great of a deal. i say go with rods and mild springs in the stock forks. bbr rods give 1.5" of extra travel

Good forks on the cheap for a 110=SGR front end.

and with LT damps you get another inch of traval.

The emulators should work in the e-6's. They are a 30mm conventional fork, just like the stockers.

It's not the O.D. of the fork tube that matters. It's the I.D.
