Originally posted by Nessism View PostA few years back, when restoring a 1983 750ES, I made block off plates and ditched the anti-dive. Normal damping is not metered through the anti dive, so the only requirement for the plates is to make sure the channel in them flow enough oil to allow the damping rods inside the fork to do their job. In my opinion the plates look a lot more clean than a dead anti-dive device hanging on the front of the fork. To make the plates I used 1/4" thick aluminum and normal garage tools. To cut the channel a carbide burr in a die grinder/drill did the job. A very simple project.sigpic

That's what people say but I have done it on two different forks with emulators. In theory if you drill at the right height this is true but in practice it doesn't work that way and it makes the drilling of the rods more critical.
Put the channels in, it's easy enough to do once you're there.1980 GS1000G - Sold

I don't think the dead anti-dive units offer much resistance so maybe 15W would be good. I plan on contacting both Rich Desmond and Race Tech before finalizing my initial choices.'20 Ducati Multistrada 1260S, '93 Ducati 750SS, '01 SV650S, '07 DL650, '01 DR-Z400S, '80 GS1000S, '85 RZ350
