Thanks for all the helpful info, everyone.

Since I'd had good experience in the past working with Race Tech, I began working with their technician via phone. He asked about the number of bleed holes in the RT emulators, and recommended adding two more holes per valve (done), and reducing the blue (medium weight) valve spring preload to two turns (done), all of which made the bike's front end more compliant. He also suggested that if it still felt too stiff, I could drop to either .85 or .80 fork springs, and could change to the lightest weight (silver) emulator springs. So that's next.
BTW - like the looks (and price) on the adjustable foot pegs.

Did you end up using those pre-drilled damping rods or drill out the original Honda units?Aussieflyer, I used the pre-drilled damper rods from Traxxion Dynamics, who also supplied the RaceTech Valves as part of their kit. They supplied fork springs (1.0 kg/mm,) which I exchanged with them for .90 springs.
WRT ergos there's a couple of low cost options you could play around with to see if they work for you:
1. handle bar risers from ebay (item # 151690872221), and
2. multi step adjustable foot pegs from ebay (item # 152243475905).
