I had a set on my 1100E when I bought it, but I could never get them to stop leaking.
They appeared to a one of, machined item, probably homemade.
Never found anybody selling new ones, so I found some stock units and put them back.
No hoses, I just plugged the holes with panel plugs from the hardware store and painted them.
Thought it looked kinda cool.

If you have black forks, the plugs come in black.

Same with me, PO plugged the holes with bolts.
Seems to work fine.
Even if there were a blanking plate available i would mount the anti dive unit on top of that
since it looks cool

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?

[greg78gs750]

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.

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

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 ....

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.

Thanks for all the replies guys!

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.

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.

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.
