I fitted an anti dive set up to my group 6 and it lasted about three laps of practice before i pulled in and unbolted it. It was horrible and took away all feeling from the front wheel under braking and left the trye struggling for grip.

On another note has anyone noticed that the reason the front dips so sharply and has the suspension bouncing off the stops is because these cheap far east outboard disc kits use a brake caliper that is far too big for the disc and weight of the scooter? A PX Disc has a nice progressive feel and will bring you to a stop with out trying to spit you over the handlebars.
The PM discs use the same Grimeca calipers as Piaggio, yes the PM kit costs more initially but by the time you have arsed about welding bits to your forks and splashed out on top banana dampers in an attempt to stop it diving like an overpaid footballer you will probably end up spending more than if you bought the more expensive, but much better, option.

Hi Colin -I've got a bolt on ScootRS one you can try if you like :D
PM on its way 8-)
