    Hi all, on the hunt for lower fork bodies for my 83' xj900. My model is a 31A so has the anti dive system, but I don't specifically need this model, can be off the model without.

    My anti dive units are leaking and having tried everything under the sun to fix it just keeps leaking. New fork bodies are my last resort.

    I'm located in Melbourne, Australia and happy to pay for shipping at the right price.

    Have you replaced the seals?
    Where are the leaks at?
    Are they leaking brake fluid or fork oil?

    EDIT:

    I just looked back at your post history.
    If the leaking is at the join between the anti-dive and the fork body, then either the o-rings were not really the correct size, or there are imperfections in the mating surfaces.
    I really do think we can help you repair the forks that you have.
    Did you ever dress the anti-dive mating surfaces to return them to being flat?

    As an alternative you can make blanking plates out of aluminum plate. Use the same o-rings, and back them up with hylomar.
