wrecked 1984 flhtc
Yes i have the bastard year. First year evo....yay... 5sp...enclosed chain secondary. I kinda need help. I dumped it about 10 years ago. it(she) has been inside since. i check on her every week. house burned down with the title in it. The jackass that towed it put a J hook arround the front forks and drug it out of the marsh. I have new fork tubes and lowers. should i get rid of the anti dive front end or restore it? It seems less expensive to replace it . Thanks, If i was to bring tea cake or donuts i will. coffee?

Thank you. I liked the anti-dive when i was riding it. It has the reserve air in the engine guard. I am a little worried about having to replace all of the seals when i rebuild it, and rubber lines. Not sure if i can find an Indy here in Charleston SC who has dealt with it.

Years ago I replaced my anti-dive with regular Progressive springs. It rode real nice and I never missed the anti-dive. Now I'm gearing up to change to monotubes. There are better options today than what the '84 came with back in the day.
