    I have a thread going "do they make some type of block-off plates for anti-dive GS750ES ?" that describes what some members have done to fabricate a pair of them from 3/8" aluminum plate.There are also aftermarket items for sale that oldGSfan has posted/linked that are $125.

    Suzuki GR (almost GS) 2 cyl Tempter is charging low .. and coil question

    That's excellent advice.I had the same GS450TXZ as you and I mounted the SH775 onto the top of the rear fender(I used a small hammer to lightly bend the top of the rear fender down enough to clear where the seat sits over it,also for cooling) just under where the rear of the seat bolts to the...

    Tank cleaning advice

    I've dumped a 500 pack of BB's into tanks with a bit of wash-gas and just shake that tank as a Real Work-Out in all different positions and just wore myself out,but the tank turned-out nice when done.I had no idea I could just 'pull the chain' on the problem and I'd be done. LOL !! :D What a...

    Do they make some type of block-off plates for anti-dive GS750ES ?

    Ed/Nessism,Did you cut that channel in the plates you fabricated to the width/size of the ports that match the original holes in the anti-dive units ? How deep are they ?

    '79 GS1000E project start

    Tom,I like the gold wheels you have on your GS1100EZ,are they tubeless tire applicable ? I had an 82' 1100E of the same color in the early 90's and always wanted to install new tires without tubes,but.. :concern:

    Do they make some type of block-off plates for anti-dive GS750ES ?

    I did Race-Tech single-rate fork springs with emulators and Race-Tech teflon bushings before on an 86' VFR750F and it was a huge difference.

    Do they make some type of block-off plates for anti-dive GS750ES ?

    Bob,What do you use to seal the plate ? Do you use the same factory o-rings ?

    Do they make some type of block-off plates for anti-dive GS750ES ?

    The units that oldGSfan linked seem designed to allow fork oil to flow freely between the two ports in the fork leg and they use the o-ring seals like the factory has;I would think it's the best option even though they're expensive.

    Do they make some type of block-off plates for anti-dive GS750ES ?

    What diameter aluminum plate do you recommend for me to use to make my own ? I had asked about using a gasket around the perimeter of a homemade block-off plate to seal it? or do I somehow set the thing up with O-rings ? I will continue to ask questions of things I don't know to get proper...

    Do they make some type of block-off plates for anti-dive GS750ES ?

    Bob,I left the anti-dive hooked-up on my 1100E back in the late 90's w/ SS lines on everything,I was commenting that it felt spongy even after completely bleeding the system properly numerous times;I look forward to disconnecting these on my present 83' 750ES.
