NOT!
I have just made a adjustment using 1" od pcv to my forks. It is much smoother on the long ride. Not as much nose dive like the stock setup. I want to thank Sinfulkat for the help with this!
I cut a 1" OD pcv pipe to 9 1/2"
Removed the stock 7 7/8" sleeve
installed new seals
fresh fork oil to suggested level according to the service manual
(sinfulkat reccommends cutting the pipe to 9")
Note: compressing the end cap is difficult with the 9 1/2" pipe
I had to stand on the footpegs and use a 1/2" drive ratchet with lots of elbow grease.
If you don't have the money for a complete racetech setup this is the way to go (thanx again for the 411 sinful)
in this picture you will see the part being replaced is number 22
