Good work, I had updated my standard front forks with Ravenrider's fork mod
http://www.yamahafz1oa.com/forum/showthr...mod&page=5
& it made some difference to the damping characteristics. Only problem is that it's non-reversible as you cut the lowest inch off the fork springs. Between that mod & raising the forks would prob'ly be a decent front-end improvement for under £20.
Failing that, a pair of 9.0kg/mm springs would prob'ly firm the front up to your requirements
I meant to say, I re-read the advert for my own ebay R6 forks & it appears my R6 forks are actually standard. I think they'd just had a service from 'Reactive Suspension', possibly fork seals & oil.
Regarding the other set of 5SL forks, I think he did swipe them off ebay ;-) Be patient, they do appear regularly.....
He's also installing heavier 0.95kg/mm springs before he fits them to the bike; indeed the R6's springs are borderline as although they are heavier than the Fazer's springs they lose that advantage when fitted to a bike some 100lbs heavier.
Having said that, the spring / metal spacer combo makes it fairly easy to source different length fork springs from other 43mm forks ;-)
