Notice any difference in the ride/handling?

[jwhelan65]

Unbelievable difference! When you factor in the Race Tech emulators and new shorter Sonic springs spaced correctly it is like night and day. The new wheels help too.

Had it out today all the squish is gone, the biggest improvement is when braking. So solid..

And that's an improvement solely from blocking off the anti-dive, or are you speaking to all the front-end changes you've made?

I'm trying to decide if the block-offs are worth it for my 1150.

Look great Joe.

Yes, but certainly the emulators helped the most, removing the anti-dives is mandatory when you install them. By removing them you have cleaned up and removed the additional brake line and bleeder, hence less areas to accumulate air. With new and better springs the forks will perform better putting less pressure on the brakes especially at high speed stops. If you do the block-offs you will need to replace the fork oil anyway, if it were me I would do new springs, block-offs and heavier weight oil at a minimum. If emulators are in your budget I highly recommend, I assure you will notice a remarkable difference.

I've got Racetechs and 15w oil in there now. The 1150 anti-dives have no additional brakeline, though.

Where do you get these block-offs?

I love watching your builds, Joe. So understated and sano. Brilliant bike.
