Got a Fazer 1000 Gen 1 fully Ivanised and am chauffer for my wife on our GL1800.
I've fitted Progressive suspension front and rear which improves the handling of the Big 'Wing dramatically.
It's promoted as having a sporting chassis, but standard suspension is just not up to the job. (Sound familiar with the Fazer perhaps?) Biggest problem was grounding of pegs on even slow corners. Mine's well sorted now and nothing drags anymore, though doubt I'd keep up with that yellow fellow.
Most would be VERY surprised and impressed with the handling of a modded GL1800 and the Deals Gap video is well known and impressive. Deals gap is only 11 miles long, 'snothing compared to some of the twisties in Scotland and Wales though eh? How lucky are we!!

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, FIX IT 'TILL IT IS.
