    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hello fellow GSers.

I want to fit braided brake lines to my 1982 GSX1100EZ, and it's so much cheaper without the anti-dive plumbing. Can you tell me if it's possible to disable the anti-dive, and if so, how it can be done?

Thanks,
Alex

Hello Mr. albi,

Then feel free to stop by my little BikeCliff website where I've been collecting the wisdom of this generous community. Thanks for joining us. We would also appreciate some pictures. Not you, your bike! :D

As for disabling the anti-dive, the search feature is your friend. Here's a couple examples I found:

There is tons of info in the archive on this…

Easiest thing to do is just ditch the small hose going over to the anti-dive actuator (you will need a single banjo bolt to replace the double on the caliper. It’s generally advised to plug the hole on the actuator to keep dirt out. The entire anti-dive mechanism can be taken off but you will need to fashion some block off plates. If you do this you should machine a channel in the plate to connect the two ports on the fork otherwise your fork will act like the anti-dive is actuated all the time. Photos below shows some plates I made for my 750.

Great info guys, thanks. I tried the search but clearly i'm technically challenged:)

Basscliff, thanks for the warm welcome and link to the brilliant resource site - that will come in very handy!
