Still got those forks after all this time, S? 
Apparently there's some design fault in the standard front forks that accelerates lower stanchion wear and eventually ruins them (metal on metal rubbing, which also fills the fork oil with alloy particles very quickly).

As mentioned, as alternatives you can either fit R6 5Sl forks: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/fazer100...t4229.html
or R1 USD forks: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/fazer100...t3408.html
Apart from those two, not much evidence of other alternatives
