Do they make some type of block-off plates for anti-dive GS750ES ?

I don't use a plate. I use the original anti-dive units. They use the factory O-rings. They let the oil move. I just don't use the lines. I plug the holes with $1.00 body plugs from Ace Hardware, and a spritz of silver paint. Done.

Now call me crazy, but I would put that $125 towards all the parts you will need to actually get the bike on the road.
After I did that, I might think about fancy do-dads...Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

Yeah don't buy aftermarket plates, absolutely lowest return on your time and dollar.
Send a PM to Dorkburger if I recall correctly he disabled his units by gutting them.
I took a more expensive option and installed Racetech emulators and springs which vastly improved the suspension and simultaneously eliminated the anti-dive.1979 CBX, AW440 Maico, GS1150EF

Yes,I see it will be $ better spent to fabricate my own plates

I did Race-Tech single-rate fork springs with emulators and Race-Tech teflon bushings before on an 86' VFR750F and it was a huge difference.

FWIW, I went with straight rate Sonic springs and cartridge emulators on my 1100E. It offers about 80-85% of the performance of cartridge damping while maintaining the OEM look and components.

Key step is to grind a groove connecting the ports so fluid can easily flow between the two fork ports.1983 gs1100ed restro-mod. 1998 gsxr 1100 almost mint, 2019 kawasaki klx250, 2011 Beta 250 evo trials bike, 2017 Montesa 300rr trials bike, 2021 honda crf250rx woods weapon
