A couple of points if you're gonna be using 07/08 R1 forks (or Ohlins forks for 07/08 R1):
You can only use the 6-piston caliper. With the wide caliper bolt spacing, no other caliper will fit.
Are these brakes better than 4-piston R1's or FZ1's? Not really. The advantage to using them is they use the "narrow" path rotor which is somewhat lighter than the wider rotor. Yes, you can use your FZ1 rotors (with spacers) or R1 4-piston rotors, but why would you want to; they're heavier, and they just don't look right with the 6-piston caliper.
