Fazer1000 gen1 suspension upgrade

I'd definitely consider getting the rear end sorted first as this is likely the easiest and will make a big difference. If you are running the OEM rear shock then setting max pre-load and  adding more weight to the front of the bike by dropping the forks through the yokes, and jacking up the rear by fitting shorter dog-bones (~£15 on ebay) helps quicken up the steering to sports bike levels. After this the R6 shock mod would be worthwhile investigating unless you have double the cash to spend on a bespoke shock from the likes of Nitron.

Surely, dropping the YOKES down the forks is a more accurate description???
I dropped mine 10mm and together with the new T30's, the handling is much better (that said, it was on 8,000 mile old MEZ4's - the shite-est tyres ever to grace a modern motorbike  :o )
I currently have a Devilsyam R6 shock ready to go in.
