Your answer is in every bike dealership in the world.;)

Can you be more specific? Are you saying that every bike sold today has better anti-dive properties than Suzuki's old anti-dive forks?

While forks are much better than they were 20 years ago, I'm not prepared to say that they couldn't benefit from an electronic anti-dive system.

:?:

So a custom paint job, with some kind of custom headlight and taillight, qualifies as an official "limited edition" that never existed??

Not to mention those look like gsxr 1000 forks (black sliders).....Prolly a crash & rebuild :lol:

i don't think that's a custom paint job. i think it's one of those cheap pre-painted ebay body kits. and like Tye said, it clearly went down on the left side with the busted clipon bits and the same-side busted blinker.

nice try, jackass.

I actually owned one of those 1100s with the anti-dive. The system didn't work. Modern systems are substantially improved.

The antidive idea was a decent idea. Softer springs for comfort and stifness when you needed it. Too bad, it would stop working 15 feet outside of a dealer. They were pure garbage.

Todays setups with progressive springs are much better.

At the same time, I think they could easily perfect it if they wanted. Just like several cars these days have magnetic dampers that instantly adjust. Would it add another grand to the cost of the bike, sure, but it'd probably be a better use of money than all this ABS/traction control nonsense.
