thanks for answer, will it not affect the working of the forks.

Forks will be same, all the anti-dive does, is increase the damping when braking.......
So you may get a bit more dive under braking.....
It's a bit of a gimmick, coz it hasn't been on production bikes for years :wink:

If you blank off the anti dives using a plate you will need to link the anti dive oil holes with a channel milled into the blank off plate or fork oil will not flow the correct route and you will have a rock hard front end. Might have a cad drawing of the plates somewhere.
