anyone....??

No activity from Mattsplat for a while. @Billythediablo - can you help with any pictures, dimensions or hardware please? I've already purchased a used R1 damper and a fork clamp, so looking for guidance with the plate & fitting. Cheers

and the main reason for the adjustment is that the R1 forks are 1/2 an inch shorter than the FZ1, so the original balance of the FZ1 has now changed. Someone who knows bike ergonomics better than me will hopefully chime in why.

Check out this other thread, which has more detail, plus references the 'other' FZ1 site: fz1 front end swap

Stevo, sad to say, but Doc's right. If you read through the entire thread though, it does advise that you need an aftermarket or rear shock conversion that is adjustable, as you'll need to lift the rear to compensate for the front drop with the shorter R1 forks.

Question for my Australian brethren...is the R1 front fork conversion, calipers & brakes worth the effort now? I've nearly got all my parts together to start my 2010 FZ1 tear-down & rebuild. I had a quick search for 50mm R1 forks and either I'm not looking in the right place or they are...

Not sure what my member number is, but does 2012 count....

Glad you were able to start the bike. Back to enjoying the ride...

Did you clear the 11 engine fault code - section 8-42 of the service manual? Unless you clear it, it will prevent a start, regardless of any changes you have made.

Nice ride George! Welcome
