    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

anti dive brakes

I was looking to lighten up my 1100 some, and was wondering about bypassing the anti dive set up. Has any one tried this, what all is involved? It looks pretty straight forward, but wondered if there would be a problem with the brakes at that point. Thanks
 
I once bypassed the anti-dive on my 750 Seca. All I did was remove the unit (the fork oil should be drained so it dosent run out on the floor). Then traced it out on a piece of aluminum, cut it out and mounted it in place of the anti-dive. And I didn't notice any difference.

Maybe someone else did this and they could tell you different but on that bike it made no difference. The unit it self didn't really weigh a lot but ever ounce counts when trying to lighten things up.

I blanked off the anti-dive on my 83 750E years ago by removing both fork units and using aluminum 1/4 inch templates. Braking action will improve as you are not using brake pressure/fluid to activate the anti-dive unit, especially if you use braided steel lines. Use progressive fork springs and/or preload adjusters to keep the front end from excessive dive.
