Nope...  Option in '92, std in '93.

They did come with the Anti-Dive (AD) forks. Very few ever posted that they worked. More like a marketing gimmick than engineering. If you are getting new brake lines, you don't need to keep the AD lines. The AD can be bypassed.

FYI, upgrading to '89 forks, FZR '88 front wheel, RPM fork brace, straight rate springs and RPM fork valves, cut the front end dive by more than half...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

The anti dive will be bypassed and eventually rpm emulators...Does the stock 86-87 handle that poorly? Last bike I had was a 87 radian 600 dragged the hell out of the foot pegs but always felt stable.

You can still ride the hell out of it, just get to know your machine and how it handles. Most likely that is how you dragged your Radian through the corners. The front OEM springs are a little soft. But you can get around just fine with the stock set up.

Buy a manual bro. Youre doing it wrong.
