Blackcabbie,
It's exactly this reason, the ease of fitting, that is inspiring me - I'm not looking for out and out best performance - if I was I'd go and buy a supersports! However, if I can fix a fork seal for £xx, or change to R6 shocks for £xx + £50 and gain performance whilst losing weight, well, it's a bit of a no brainer really. Hell, I might even make that £50 back by selling my one good Fazer fork on eBay!
To that end I have decided to go down this route. I've found some R6 forks and a spindle, not the cheapest at £150 all in, but they are near me for collection, and apparently in good condition. I'll see how I get on and report back - should hopefully have it done in a week and be back on the road and legal - woot!
