Even though I have a Gen 1, I went with 04 R1 forks and couldn't be happier. I made a spacer that is listed on this link. I re-used the Fz stem, pressed it out myself, and added R1 tree's, axel, brakes, SS-lines and the fender.

I have the same Drc tool listed above. Without a doubt it is one of the best, innovative tools that is a must have for your garage. I put a 530 chain on my FZ and it was a breeze. Make sure you read and follow the directions. The pins are easily bent.
Here are the directions on installation. Dunno if there will help or not.

Why do they need to be rebuilt? Were they damaged?
Usually they just need a good cleanng and sync..
Holy high prices. I just got a rear power pilot installed today. I purchased it online, it took 5 mins to remove the rear rim and my local independent charged me $22 !!!!!
I noticed that I'm not leaking anymore. It's a common mod. I disabled all of the lines and took the carbs into Napa and matched the plugs up. Just to be safe I added hose clamps. Now I have more room for maintenance.
Great Video. I just changed the seals on my R1 forks. I built the spring compressor, sleeve driver
and rod damper holder out of PVC. Everything cost me $5.00
Videos like this have helped me with confidence on tackling projects on my FZ1.
Keep it up!!
I purchased the tap, bolts, washers and used Red Loctite.
I think everything cost me less than $10.00.
Since I had the motor out installation was a breeze.
I used a rubber plug that I had lying around in the garage to plug the connector to the air box.
It worked like a charm.
Good luck...
I'm cleaning out my garage and looking to get rid of some things. I am not looking to make a bundle, I just want the stuff gone. If interested send me a message. Prices are negotiable and subject to shipping costs. If no one is interested I will post on E-Bay. All parts as-is.

Hello
I previously had these R1 forks on my Gen-1.
I recently upgraded to different forks and have the old ones for sale.
They are 98/99 R1-Forks which are 41mm in diameter. (They sit 40mm less than the FZ1 forks)
The R1 yokes and the front axel are included.
The Gen FZ1 brakes, and front...
I just hit 15k and my basket was fine. You have a Gen 2 correct? Since I have a Gen 1, I cannot speak for your bike. But unless your basket is bent, broken or warped you should be fine.
PM me your e-mail address and I will send you all the specs and info for the clutch. You can use it to get a...
No problem. Why are you changing the basket? I took my dremel and took all of the burrs off my basket and polished it as best as I could. It's a fairly easy job, just follow the service manual.
I noticed that when I was inspecting the smooth clutch plate that it was painted blue in the side. The first three friction plates during installation are part of the blue pack. (The order if installation of friction plates are (1) White, (3) Blue, (4) Black and (1) Red) With the clutch plates...
