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 actually hard to find & in a lot of cases, overpriced.
I can understand the reasons for the upgrade, but I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle now.
My main concern is heading down this path & not being able to find all the parts I need.
Some advertised parts seems very expensive atm...how much is too much? I'm happy to pay a fair price, but some seem overly hungry.
Thoughts?
