If you can't find the hose you are looking for at a retailer.....
Machinery with hydraulic controls are everywhere. Where you are standing right now I bet you can see one. These machines require servicing.
So:
Go to your local hydraulic shop and have them build a line for you. Very simple job for them. If they can see the line they can reproduce it. I didn't even need to remove my old one from the bike, they just eyeballed it and got out the tape measure.
It will very likely cost less than one off the shelf!
Cheers,
Pawlie

Ahhhhh, the not so sweet smell of government bureaucracy at work. How would we ever get through life without their guiding hand.
I hope something else works out for you.

They are all the same since 1988 or 1989 up until 2003!

Unless your forks are bottoming I would be inclined to leave them alone. They are meant to move and if heavily damped cant follow the road contours.
I, like many others have installed thinner oil in the forks of my originally overdamped Enfield.
Diving could be caused by sudden application of brakes instead of smooth, also use of front brake only and not using the rear brake to stabilise/settle * the bike before the front kicks it. Your brakes may be grabbing or binding??
* using a bit of rear brake first will lower both front and rear suspensions so when the front brake comes on it wont dip much as both the front and rear the suspension is already partly stiffened. Using the front brake only will dip the front suspension and RAISE the rear making the dip, or dive very pronounced.
