Is anti-dive required? was created by LukeJ
Hi guys, I have just fitted a HEL stainless steel brake system onto the front of my GPZ750 A1 1983 model.
Would these new lines bypass the anti-dive system and just go straight onto the caliper?
If so, will no anti-dive mechanism affect the handling of the bike in any way?
Many thanks in advance

One member has bypassed the anti-dive system with great success here:

I have the parts, but haven't tride it yet. They are on my list of things to do on my GPz550.

yes get rid of it if you haven't noticed the oem's havent used that overcomplicated system for years. so it never worked all that well to begin with.

If you can't be bothered to make block-off plates just remove the tops of the anti-dive units, you can then use regular brake hoses straight to the calipers.
A set of progressive fork springs, with spacers, help too and mean you can forget about pumping the forks up with air to stop them bottoming out.

Yeah I am trying to get the block off plates made by a local CNC company here - should be done this week I hope.
It'd be nice if we could get the file at a bigger res or at least clear to read the measurements.
