    I have the air assisted forks and am eventually going to get longer tubes- will this be an issue for Forking by Frank? also I keep hearing everyone talk about anti dive--- would that be the isor- I mean block on my lower fork that looks like a proportioning valve off a car? can that be removed and blocked off? or since I am going to lengthen the forksand rake the bike do I just need to find a different fork setup all together ( preferably ones that will hold the dual disc.
    alot to ask but I get great information from everyone on here

    would I still have to go air adjustable with the long forks- would mak for a smoother ride but just wondering---my manual is on the way so I should get a lot of ?'s answered in there.

    I have removed the anti-dive valves from my forks (82 750 Seca) with no problems. I didn't like the feedback they gave and just seemed like a sales gimmick to me anyway. I don't see them on bikes anymore, so they must not be as effective as previously thought. I used thicker oil in my forks now (after replacing the seals) and it's just a bit stiffer, which is good for better handling. With longer fork tubes however, I would suggest going with the factory oil weight because of the angle change. Good luck! >PD<
