    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

By-passing Anti-dive

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.

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!
