I think the consensus was to do-away with the anti-dive feature and just use stiffer springs. Much simpler and more predictable. The guys to ask are the guys who race on this site:

You might recognize some of the users there. Most use the same name as they do here.
Oops, looks like MJG15 already gave you a link.

there is thread on the gpz 550 forum that actually shows a dude eliminating the brake fluid actuation...and using a simple bolt and lock nut to "dail and set" his stiffness/anti dive ...or something like that...i will see if it ever gets running before i ever get that point... i wanna focus on the green and gray 900/1000 and am getting advice from the better half about the bikes we ride being running perfect and finished(paainted$$$ and all the goodies piles installed) before doing any more to the others...so back into the garage we go for now.......
i l;ove this little 550 and it shows the final evolution of the air cooled 550 before the zx600 took the slot ..
uni track
dymag knock offs
aluminum swingarm
half fairng
oil cooler
big carbs
bigger valves
agressive ports and ignition settings
it is really a factory hot rodded 500 engine
i will keep this one and it will be my small cc era ripper replica in time

I had a GS 700 with anti-dive forks and dual disks. The bleeding was performed at he left anti-dive, then the left caliper, then the right anti-dive and last the right caliper. It took several rounds , but eventually all the air was out.
good Luck jim
