By-passing Anti-dive

[Unclesol]

I have ordered stainless braided lines (www.paragonperformance.com - Ask for Alex. Good deal!) for my 83 GS750 ES, but was thinking about by-passing the anti-dive system, as it does not seem to have much effect other than adding a distinctly mushy feel to the front braking. Any comments or suggestions? Thanks.

On mine, I just removed the short lines that go from the caliper to the AD module, and moved the single banjo bolts to the calipers. Seemed to work well, and it kept me from having to fab a block off plate for the time being.

Hey, nice choice! I have Paragon lines and love them.

Anyway, the easiest way is to replace the banjo bolt on the anti-dive unit itself with a standard bolt. Some people insist that does not do the trick, but I can assure you it does.

You guys are quick! Thanks for the feedback. I'll be plugging those holes directly...

The passage that is blocked is only obstructed when the brakes are applied. The only reason to make plates is to clean up the look and perhaps save a few ounces of weight. When you make plates you actually need two. One with a slot cut in it to allow oil to flow between the two ports and another solid plate to seal things up.

So a simple bolt will do the trick,

Sure will.

You just move the banjo from the AD unit to the caliper and use a bolt to seal out the elements from the AD unit.

Done. Thanks. Once these are installed, I think I'm done for a while... just riding!
