The thing to keep in mind here, I think, is that the rest of the Fazer's chassis isn't really a match for the kind of multi-adjustable front end that you have in mind. I can understand why you would like to be able to optimize the configuration of an R1-based front end but is really going to be worth the cost?
My own set-up is 5PW forks in 5PW yokes (top and bottom) which have been mated to the Gen 1 steering stem. The top yoke has weld-reinforced in the webs underneath and drilled to take the Fazer bar clamps. It is very quick-steering, possibly too much for some, but stable at high speed. That said, I'm considering trying fork extenders to restore a little of the front end height, which in turn will increase the head angle.
The internet has loads of info on all the offset of R1 yokes of all model years, and which ones match the FZ1/FZ8 top yoke. I don't recall the numbers off the top of my head but Google is your friend. Search here and on the US FZ1OA forum first.
