Only one product I know of that eliminates fork dive, but lets the suspension travel as designed, is Ricor Intiminators. It would be a stiff rough, ride to use springs that are on par with the valves as per dive resistance or hitting things with your front tire you didn't intend to and maintaining control.. web page

Really, as someone who has BTDT, IMO the best you can do with the OEM forks are Ricor Intiminators, Amsoil 5w, OEM fork springs, PVC spacers & adjustable preload caps. I'll gladly sell you a set of Progressive fork springs if you want them.

Thanks for your input ( Ryk/Ken), I have read many postings by both of you on a multitude of subjects, and I very much value your opinions.Ricor Intiminators it will be.
