Ideas wanted for raising the bars on my GPZ

Can't think of anything requiring a half depth pocket...

Its to remove the anti dive unit on the forks. It still needs flow to funtion.

Two questions, will the pocket seal properly? I would have thought they would have two o rings just aorund the ports (like on calipers) as stock, wheras your design requires one big one to go around the pocket.

And is there no restriction in the anti-dive unit? I would have though the brake controlled unit would provide a varied level of compression damping in proportion to the level of braking.

Then again, I've never owned or ridden a bike with anti-dive, and suspension isn't one of my best bike subjects as it is!

The plate is a design thats in common use. I believe the o rings groves are in the fork. I did have ideas of making that adjustable somehow so i can adjust compression. But will be getting Progressive springs and running 15w oil.

The anti dive units always siezed. Like mine has. Im thinking of just pulling the unit off and seeing If I can just remove some guts to get rid of the antidive and putting it back on.

Yeh the grooves will be in the fork, but the pocket spans both, so there will be some area without a rubber seal right?

Thats similar to what I usually hear about them, they seize up, and give rubbish brake feel. If you just disconnect the brake line from it, that will stop the anti-dive from working won't it?

They are electric on my bike. it depends where the unit has siezed on. it may be restricting flow now.

Hmmm, the more I think about it I wonder if I can just take the electrical guts out of the escs anti dive unit. It has some now unwanted relays etc as well which can go. I think I will change the oil in the forks tomorrow and pull it apart to see whats in there. If it looks how I think it will I may not need the plate thing. But ive ordered the new springs,e-bays a great thing.
