A "what he said" on my behalf as well. I thought along the same lines as you but as proven on the race track, it doesn't work. My friend and I both tried it without drilling the holes to see if we can get away with it and chatter was a big issue. A good conversation with Racetech and a thread on the forum convinced us that it WAS necessary to drill the holes if you wanted to use the emulators for what they were designed for. Otherwise, all they're doing is taking up space in your forks rising the springs up closer to the preloader spacers.
