    fork application 83 gs1100ed?

    Can fork tubes from 82 or so gs1100s ( the type w/o anti-dive) fit in the tripl trees of an 83 with anti-dive. Do the caliper bolt holes line up? as well as the fender mtg holes and distance from fork cup to axle? Let me know because the anti-dive type are hard to find and there is several earlier types on ebay. Ive already placed a wanted ad in here for the lower right leg after I damaged it with a drill (see ad).

    Why not just do away with the anti dive?

    Stuff I've done to my bike:dancing: 1100E front end with new Sonic springs, 1100E swing arm conversion with new Progressive shocks installed, 530 sprockets/chain conversion, new SS brake lines, new brake pads. New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.

      the anti dive isnt the problem. I damaged the lower leg with a drill bit so now fork oil oozes out btween the outer part of the seal and the fork metal. I want to know if the older style fits right in place. Id like to get rid of the antidive, 2 less nipples to bleed.

        JB weld, works wonders and is cheaper. There is a block off plate for the anti dive, a few on this site I believe have used them.
