front suspension

[kwick-kwack]

Are there any other forks that are a direct replacement onto a gen 1 1000 or should i just get mine rechromed[size=78%]. TIA[/size]

I’ve got a set which came of an R6. They are coloured black. The seal has blown on one side but you can make me an offer if you’re interested. They fit straight in, only the mudguard bracket needs some very minor modification

Still got those forks after all this time, S? 
Apparently there's some design fault in the standard front forks that accelerates lower stanchion wear and eventually ruins them (metal on metal rubbing, which also fills the fork oil with alloy particles very quickly).

As mentioned, as alternatives you can either fit R6 5Sl forks: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/fazer100...t4229.html
or R1 USD forks: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/fazer100...t3408.html
Apart from those two, not much evidence of other alternatives
