So, tell me, how much difference has that front end made ? Is it mainly cosmetic, or has it made a noticeable improvement ?

Some further thoughts on this after today's ride:

This bike is now far and away more capable than it was with standard forks, even considering how much better I thought the R6 shock mod made it. It would be no exaggeration to say I am gobsmacked by what it now handles like. After yesterday's Wales run, I thought I had a good idea of how it was improved. Today, I just kept on finding that the bar has been set way higher, and I need to completely re-assess it's capabilities.

To find myself casually popping up my visor in mid bend to scratch my nose, only to look down at the clocks and see somewhere around an indicated 90, and the bike not feeling like it was being pushed at all  :lol

I really didn't think a big, heavy sports tourer of the Fazer's age could ever be this good. I knew I'd find the handling improved, but not to this extent. Today was a case of  Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile !!

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest, as you were  :lol

Nick, I'd be interested to see what you thought of mine. I can by no means ride to the capabilities of the bike it also has an R6 shock, K-Tech front springs and the Fully Monty Ivanising so the main difference is the R1 setup.



Christo, foc off...
