Morning all from sunny Mallorca.

This subject may have been discussed before but is it possible to change the anti dive system on my 1987 gpz600 r, without major mods to brakes, yoke. etc?

It was also suggested to me that a 750r cylinder head would fit my 600r?
I'm not too sure about this as they look quite different? advice on both subjects would be welcome.
Thanks Busby Smile

People used to blank off the anti-dive system. Not sure exactly how, it involved fabricating a cover plate and doing something to hold the mechanism in the off position.

The fact that it can be done is about as far as my knowledge extends though.

You will probably need to do something about new or re-arranged brake lines too.

If you get nothing here, i can garauntee someone on the practical Sportsbikes magazine facebook group will know about it.
