Its been on my list for a while. Had a look on the site and couldnt see any dates for 2012 , presuming it will be late Aug as last years.
If so its too early for me but I'm sure a visit there would be memorable 

it took me about 3 months to find a complete set,there was a pair of them for sale from a gloucester bike breakers but as there are 2 different types,ie left and right i did not go for them

Thanks for that I got them, they are now ported and on my bike. 
The ad was a bit confusing so I gave them a call to confirm what they were.

If its just the start of cracking you have plenty of time, the set I took off had been progessively getting worse for 3-4years , have a good dig through the breakers shops on ebay, it can pay off, I paid £24 .

Taking advantage of the weather here just had a couple of rides with a full monty and one of Lukes R6 shocks but same old front end as yet.

Ivanised. It is like having a different motor ,the holes I could sit and bimble along in are gone, almost feels like the crank had been lightened, it just wants to rev and now  flies through the mid range or what used to be the mid range . I havent ridden the bike for months but remember it as a motor with defined rev ranges . Now its very linear and quick to 10k in 6th, the old top end rush doesnt seem as strong now the dips have dissapeared.
I think that thought only occurred at the top end of 5th & 6th in which case its pish as I didnt notice the first four gears fly through.
I'm well chuffed and might even get a dyno run to see if its better than the R1 I had, 134 as std and 138 with jetting and RS3 can.

Handling wise, Lukes R6 shock mod is plush and makes the front feel even worse maybe I should learn this wheelie thing , I lifted my forks another 10mm to 20mm and had a nice easy handling bike .  So still 20mm to play with to get to R1 forks ride height which I hope will, with the extra weight over the front, improve the fork action.

I doubt I will ever achieve the ride quality I want from the std forks but will confidently predict an increase in fuel consumption as a result of fitting the Ivans kit

Thanks for the heads up .

I was considering a change to R1 forks and trying to be patient on ebay, missed all the xmas bargains due to loss of broadband .

The R6 option would save hacking or buying bottom yoke but are you basing the results on your lucky suspension shop revalved one's,which might have cost as much as the eye watering £500 K tech option.

I owned a 99 R1 that was raced for 3years, the first season on standard suspension which was really not very good , a change to WP  gained us 1.5 sec a lap around Knockhill  for around £700, so I wasnt expecting miracles fitting a set to the fazer but at least they would look better.

I cant remember in all the threads I've read about the R1 fork change anyone commenting on the suspension quality rather than the diff in handling  due to the shorter forks and thats achievable by pulling the old fazer forks through the yokes.

I just had a quick run on mine with the forks through 20mm, plus one of Luke's R6 shocks and it felt really good. The forks seemed to work a lot better with more weight on them, not so much banging off ridges and potholes .  The handling is really neutral and effortless through chicanes , I need to do a decent ride to seperate all the changes as it was first ride for months and with motor now Ivanised I was concentrating more on performance changes and not noticing the suspension which considering the speed and road condition is a really good thing.

Can I pull the forks through another 20mm to run same ride height as with R6 and R1 forks without clearance issues due to diff fork travel ?,
 I;ll find out as I want to try but would be nice to know beforehand if the mudguard is going to contact something . Just want to replicate  what the stance would be fitted with the R6 or R1 forks .

Look forward to your finding regards significant improvement  which it no doubt will be as they are revalved, but then that is only relevant to other revalved forks and not  the standard R6 one's.

Looking for a filter to install with Ivans Kit and saw Hiflo filters on ebay for approx £20, K&N and Piper £36 and BMC around £40.

Is this Hiflo a High Flow filter or direct replacement for standard ?

I could not find any info on filter regards spec but one link suggested that HiFlo also make K&N filters or it was the other way round.

I,m presuming its a paper version of K&N and not washable ,anyone ?????????

Also having watched my carb rubbers deteriorate the past 3 years just checked depth of one of the cracks @ 3.67mm which was a bit scary, still a couple of mm left but not worth the effort of porting .

Just trying to say that the crazing/cracking of boots is not something to get paranoid about but dont ignore it for too long.

Cool, I get the one with the Gold plated spring and commemorative plaque

Just found the forum while searching for suspension alternatives for gen 1 1000. Live in North Fife, the bike has 26k and on 2cnd rear shock . Nice to find not only the answers but most of  the required hardware available here also. I had been considering buying an alternative shock and also wondering if the R1 front end would fit.   All questions answered, thanks.

Ive had the bike 10years and was thinking of a Street Triple which ticked all my boxes apart from protection ,anyway the extra needed to buy one will cover giving the fazer a hopefully more dynamic feel and an Ivans Kit to perk it up a little.
