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...

block off antidive

Does anyone have a DIY to block off the antidive?
It's for an 83 1100es.
Is it just simply removing the antidive unit from the fork?, removing the hydaulic line circuit, and then bolting a cover over the opening left on the front of the fork from the removed antidive unit?

Thanks!

I don't like the mussiness in teh brake. Do have any tips in making the brake more solid?

Thanks
 
stainless steel lines would stiffen it up quite a bit. the PO put a block off plate on my antidive units, so I'm not sure how much it'll stiffen up the braking, but I've heard it definetly helps. take the units off, get some single line banjo bolts for the brake lines. I have some 1/4" aluminum rectangular plates blocking off the hole. using the origonal gasket works fine and I have no leaks.
 
You can keep the fluid in them and just use bolts to block off the brake lines in both calipers. Just know that they may actually feel just as mushy. The braided brake lines are a huge improvement.

Thanks folks, appreciate the help.
Luc, how thick is the plate covering the antidive "hole"?
 
make sure you machine a channel for the oil to transfer through
 
Huh?? The easiest way to disable the antidive is to remove the banjo bolt from it, replace it with a solid bolt, use the single banjo to replace the double on the caliper, and bingo bango bongo, anti dive disabled...That courtesy of Joe Nardy :)
