Hi,
I initially fitted a pair of standard 4xv forks and found the damping a bit disappointing. These modified 5jj forks were a lot better right away, I only changed the springs, never really felt the need to adjust the damping in them.
I took them off because I fitted R6 5sl front forks instead, as it was more of a stealth-mod:

I thought the R1 forks performed great, but then they always would outstrip my abilities on the road.
PM some of the various members on the Fazer sites who have done the mod for their opinions start with Mike :-D
IMO they transform the bike's handling, but at the end of the day it's still a Fazer with a bendier frame than a sportsbike....you'll keep them in sight, tho
They are on ebay due to the lack of interest on this site. If they don't sell i'll get the forks seals replaced, new fork oil & split the various parts on ebay, I'm sure there are plenty of fast R1 trackday riders who would use them, which is where they originally came from...
Finally, about the price - add up how much to do this front-end mod with a standard pair of R1 forks.... or, if you decide to sell this setup on, how much would you actually lose?
