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.
