When I bought my 03 plate 600 2 years ago I decided to do everything including braided brake hoses, complete set of new seals both caliper & master cylinder & new fluid. I may have been a bit OCD/OTT but the time you need all your stopping power is not the time to discover theres any weakness in the system :eek
Think there is a "foccers" discount available from HEL-check previous posts on this subject. I bought top quality pattern seals from a firm in Sheffield(forget their name-may have been Powerhouse)). The braking on a well maintained Fazer is as good as you will need-the "blue spots" are an exceptionally good brake although some dispute the effectiveness of the rear-usually caused by lack of service as its in an exposed position under the wheel.
Similarly the front suspension benefits from fresh fork oil. Your rear shock-if OEM- will be "tired" by now.
