I have owned six gen 1's over the years and they all had slightly different feel front ends but all were perfectly useable on british roads. I went for a 2008 R1 front end on my best one and it is brilliant and very noticeably better the faster you go. The second r1 front end came already fitted and it's better than a standard front end, but the handling is a little flighty and obviously shorter than standard forks, so it's got to be set up right. Why did you not just get an r1 front end, as they are known to be the best solution?
If it's broken, it's not fixed.
