Block off plate for anti dive

[trevor]

Done...put in a volt for now...

I would think that using some kind of thread sealer on the bolts (or even more RTV) would probably be a good idea without the O-rings too.. I probably did that, so long ago I don't remember now.....

Whatever I did, I did the same think on the GSXR forks that I had fitted to the 750 & that worked fine too.

Mine have been fitted for several years without issues.

looks like they've changed their name, in St Catherines , ( CDN $ )

the plates are high quality with oring seals. no leaks in 10 years


also these guys, I know nothing about ....

If you install Emulators you have to make sure you drill them the correct way to bypass the anti-dive... it's different to normal.

Those plates linked are clever with the routing behind to link & the two holes. That's where the cost is. A flat plate with a chain drilled hole is all you need though... fit with RTV.

I had some seepage issues so I also helicoiled the block of plate bolts so I could cinch them down better with SS hex bolts (an used anti-seize)

According to RaceTech if you've installed emulators you don't need that plate you've eliminated the anti-dive function. At least the was the situation with my '84 1150. I was originally going to put that channeled plate on to eliminate the anti dive but it doesn't make sense, it costs $100 which is over half the price of the emulators.

My mechanic said the same and he's leaving the gold anti-dive unit on because it looks like Olhins tech.

Interesting. I thought I read somewhere on RT's site to keep oil flow thru the anti dive, but I'm sure your suspension guy is far more knowledgeable on the subject.

Doesnt apply to the brake actuated anti dive crowd, but I gutted my PDF units leaving just enough inside to hold oil in.

Gutted one is on the left.

How's anyone going to make money selling block off plates if you come up with something so simple!

I've seen the block off plate installed and it doesn't look pretty, the tiny weight saving gain removing the anti dive unit isn't worth losing the OEM look IMO.

alu machines well with carbide woodworking bits, and I happened to have a chunk kicking around

i did, buuuut i also went with emulators so the channel was not strictly necessary

Very good.
The ones that came on my bike were steel, and not very pretty.

i made some with some 1/4" alu. as for leaving the ad in place, bruh that's unsprung weight

Did you make a channel for the oil to flow from one side to the other?
