kwaker forks (02)

hi, ive just been reading about the guy and his gpz 750 forks.ive sorta got the same problem.ive bought a pair of gpz 1000 rx forks for a chopper project thinking they were ok.all perfectly straight and in good working order,nice n clean.the other night i was looking on ebay for some brake calipers when i came across a set of forks the same as mine.only thing was,these had 2 small cylinders on each fork leg connected by a stainless hose,where as mine has only got 1 cylinder at the bottom of each leg.they seem to work ok off the bike when they're compressed,nothing leeks out,am i just worrying over nothing,or have i got to get the top cylinder as well. i was considering taking the bottom cylinders off and making blanking plates but surely this will put them under great pressure when the forks are compressed.has anyone got any ideas,all replies greatly received.

i take it that the cylinders are for anti - dive purposes ?
if so they can be safely blanked off by making a plate up,its a VERY common mod.

We blanked off the anti-dives on Flap's orange trike with no problems other than trying to seal them. Took several attempts with home-made gaskets & Hermatite sealant before they stopped leaking but they work fine now.
