I liked the LSLs as well but they were one of the first no-nos picked up when the testers started getting really picky. I think (well, I hope!) that there's nothing left on the bike now which will cause problems. All the other goodies that were taken off over the last couple of years have been sold. The R1 front end complete is off to its new owner this week.
The problem is when a bike is imported to Spain, it must have a technical inspection done prior to the MOT and this baselines the specification of the bike from then onward. Most of my mods were done after that time but before Spain got silly with EU regulations. The tester does stupid stuff like measuring the bar width (huh???) but ignores things like wheel bearing checks etc.
I'm curious now to see how mine rides and steers with the K-tech modded OE forks. These have K-tech's own SSK20K valves inside. My original forks were among the first Fazer forks done by the company and they used CBR600 valves with custom shim stacks for the FZS1000. I'm sure the steering will feel slower even though I've dropped the forks through by 12mm but I can live with that.
