I think original poster has an FZ-1, not an FZS1000? In which case the R6 shock mod will not fit.
If that's the case....
Ohlins - massive improvement but way too much money.
Look on the American FZ1 site for alternative ideas, such as transplanting 04-06 R1 forks with radial calipers onto the front and a decent R1 shock on the rear. Probably about a third of the price of the Ohlins stuff and perhaps two thirds as good. Certainly much better than the standard FZ1 suspension according to various reports...
