So what exactly is soo undesireable about anti-dive? Yeah im a newb on the subject
Firming up the suspension can be less than ideal. Everything from cats eyes to pot holes to anything else that requires the suspension movement don’t really require much firmer suspension impact mid corner.
Modern suspension designs can cope better with steady loading from braking to fast movement from impact, than a basic system that just loads up everything overall.
Vastly different suspension settings when you brake.
Having said that…. Aprilia was still playing with the idea and putting in patents a couple of years back. -

I know it’s not what you asked for, but R1 wheels into a Busa is a popular swap. Places like TPC / Total Performance Cycles in the US do off the shelf spindles etc.
Those RSV ones do look nice though. I’d love a radial front end for my Gen-1 but a pair of those could tempt me away from that.

Even though the 11 and 12’s aren’t dirt cheap, wouldn’t a teapot 750 or GSXR750 motor be a cheaper easier big bore than an aftermarket kit with buying pistons, gaskets, rebore etc ?
A fire breathing bigbore motor would have some appeal if it was kept stock looking in a stock looking bike though.

Ron Williams / Maxton did mine.
They were solid with no oil ways and blanked and locked up the forks solid.
The clever bit was drilling the rod inside the forks, the size and position of the hole etc.
Worked fine.

I love the idea of a trick framed Kat, I guess with an 1135E or oilcooled lump, modern running gear, trick frame and arm etc etc, there isn’t really any Kat there, just a Kat style or Kat tribute… but either way I love the idea.

I love it ! …. and I’m more than a little envious.
So it’s a totally brand new frame ? Built in the style / as a tribute / on the same theme, as the 2 frames that were modded 750W frames to take oil cooled motors ?
Very drool worthy.

Note to self: Don’t post up the welding on my cracked Hayabusa frame that’s had 17 years of abuse.
