You need an FZS1000 or certain XJR1300 blue-spot / silver-spot rear calipers to get the larger 41mm pistons and therefore better braking performance. Pity as there's quite a few early R1 blue-spot rears on ebay, someone could easily fabricate an adapter...

The only problem with the original FZS600 caliper was poor drainage due to small drain holes which were easily blocked by road crud. This allowed water(especially salt laden water) to collect within the caliper around the pads and corrode everything within. FZS1000 caliper had open bottom end as the pads are fitted from the bottom, hence less issue with holding water.
Once again Thanks for all replies, quite informative
