What about feeling a difference in the brakes? 7 years is waaaaaay too long to wait for a brake fluid flush.
You should feel a difference if the anti-dive was restored to it's original function; hard braking should keep the front end of the bike from compressing the front forks. Are the front forks still behaving in the same manner?
And why did you remove it?

The brakes did not feel bad or spongy prior to the flush, not a noticeable difference after. I do have progressive mono tube springs up front which makes a difference. I'll go ride some more and maybe get a bit more aggressive and report back if I feel anything different.Originally Posted by willtill
I was not sure if the antidive shim would affect the brake bleed process so I removed it. I removed the fork brace mainly just to see if it was noticeable. Both were on for almost 2 years.
