So the right way would be to take the carbs off for the winter, rebuild them with a Keyster kit, and find an EXUP.
There's nothing vastly wrong with the stock carb setup, but there's always room for improvement on a stock carb setup, Ivan has spent a lot of time & money developing carb kits for many bikes, his kits actually give noticeable gains over stock.
I don't see the point wasting money on a Keyster kit that'll be no better or potentially worse than what you have already? makes no sense!
Hence why we've advised on fitting an Ivans MB kit that actually will give an improvement, it'll make the motor more tractable from low rpm & turbine smooth all the way to redline & a healthy boost in RWHP if all the associated mods are done along with the jet kit.
There's no other jet kit around that i'm aware that'll give you what an Ivans kit will, biggest bang for your buck going.
Hundreds of us have these kits in our carbs, some go for the more simple basic jet kit, most of us have gone for the MB kit which is more involved, needs some carb mods, inlet rubber mods, airbox lid mod, sports exhaust can etc.
End of the day, your bike n money, your choice, we can only advise on what we know works.?

@Vitman - as this is a fazer specific forum, what's the name of this "seller" on ebay?
https://ebay.us/m/2kbMd3
Ivan told me they were now a poor design, I for some reason I just didnt believe it so I purchased some for myself. Sure enough, ivan was correct.
So I got the bmc instead, for my fzs1000. Im sure you've seen my bike on other forums etc.

Already gave you advice on this, did you not see my reply?
Early R1's uses same valve blade, cover plate & bushings, 1998-1999 etc, headers may fit the head as basically it's the same head albeit with a downdraft carb setup, can't see why headers won't fit, i believe lower mount will need some welding, i think exit pipe is larger too, so there's potentially a bit of work involved to get it to fit.
Earlier Thunderace, same as above, headers will not fit, different motor altogether.
