R1 Forks, Techical Stuff I dont Understand

[nickodemon]

Have you considered the rake and trail as well as the offset.
Imo the 5pw and onwards are too short for the fazer unless incredibly stiff.
There are extensions avsilable but i dont like them.
i'm going to say something contraversial here but my fazer with properly set up OE front end was as good as the R1 front end i have now. But when you throw £4-500 at your bike you need it to be better.
aesthetically they are far cooler tho.

I have to say i don't agree with your thoughts on an oe front end being as good as a good R1 front end. My bike has a 2007-8 4c8 r1 front end fitted and the difference when going at a fast pace is night and day. I always thought the original front end was pretty good when set up correctly, but after fitting the r1 front end the bike handles like a very modern bike. If it only made a slight difference i would honestly say so, but it has massively improved the handling. Just my opinion..
