I drilled and tapped the crash bar like the older ones had. Simple, cheap and I already had it.

Thanks for the responses. I am somewhere between capping the ports at the top of the forks and running a length of 5/16 line to the rear left side cover and capping it with a schraeder valve. I'll probably run the line, I have to take the tanks off anyway, so no reason not to really.

Is there a way to bench test if the anti-dive valve?

Volumes matters. If you want in near stock you need to do the calculations to determine th actual volume in the bars. I did an 89 Ultra and used a Mini Stainless sample cylinder as a reservoir. I was OK, but not even close to when I just upgraded to cartridges.
