Want to disable anti dive but don't know the best way. Might be to remove the plunger with the "O" rings. Any suggestions?

1997 GL 1500 Champion Trike
The GL1800 has the Anti-Dive on the outside. I disabled mine with a spacer.

The GL1500 has the Anti-Dive on the inside of the right fork. You can remove the parts after disassembling the fork. In the photo, the oil lock piston and unique parts are on the right. Normal fork & piston on the left.

In the picture, I have the left fork parts on the left and the Right fork parts on the right. You can see that each side has a long piston. They are identical. On the right side, there is an extra C-Clip to hold the Oil lock Piston in place. I have not heard of anyone leaving this part off the piston but I don't see why it couldn't be. I don't know how it would affect the diving of the front end with a hard stop.

However, I recently added Traxxion Springs to my 2009 GL18 and there is a part on the inside of the left fork that they had me leave out to disable the Anti-Dive. My forks travel about 2" with my style of riding.
