I personally would increase the fork oil to 15wt.
I run it on my Ninjette, and it seems to work good.
I weigh with gear about 225lbs I've also installed and cut EX500 springs, and set the sag dead on.
Remember to add and set the oil level properly, as this is one of the most thing that is messed up.
As far as emulators go, I don't have them, and if I wanted them I would do the FOG trick as per the EX-500.COM wiki.

AT My home racetrack there were two places that the forks bottomed out even after I got the ride I wanted everywhere else. The control This I added another short set of springs down inside of the main spring. I used 2 of the inner valve springs in each fork. These springs were operated by a Length of 1/2" PVC pipe inside of the 1" cut to a length that would just cause them. to come into play near the bottom of fork travel. Thereby adding there rate to the main spring and stiffening the whole thing to prevent bottoming with out making the normal ride too stiff.
BTW this is what the Race Tech Emulators do for 130 bucks or more
