I know you want to get your Fazer up & running ASAP BUT before you start spending lots of hard earned cash-just get your frame professionally checked for alignment/geometry. Otherwise the best aftermarket parts wont be able to make the bike handle as it should. Not all damage is visible as AdieR suggests 7 it wont cost a lot to have it checked on a proper jig. Then, if all OK, you can start on the forks,brakes etc. On subject of brakes the performance gradually deteriorates from new so after checking brake discs for truth/runout/thickness/mounting holes/cracks etc then you can move on to pads,pistons,seals, master cylinder overhaul kits and of course your rubber brake hoses which even if undamaged in accident are now 13years old if original-Yamaha recommend changing these every 4 years but a 2-line front(race) and single rear in braided will set you back less than £85 & will never need replacing.Allow your new pads time to bed down on your discs-gradually & progressively increasing braking pressure over the first 100 miles. There is an old saying "Do it right-Pay once"! Good luck & let us know how it all goes.
