I use the speedohealer. I don't think the SpeedoDRD was available when I got mine in '04.
If you make a 5% adjustment to correct the speedo then the odo will read a bit low.
Then, when your odo says 100,000 miles, it will really have 105,000 miles.

Pazzo shorties. They look good. They feel good. For me, the stock ones work fine, but they do not feel near so good as the shorties. They sure don't look as good.
The cheap ones were not well known when I got mine.

You only have a short time to file a complaint with eBay. It won't hurt to get it in now, even if the guy does take care of the refund right away. You will lose if he strings you along and the time limit for filing a complaint passes. Also, don't be surprised if they make you mail the item back...
Not sure, but I think they only do that the first time you receive a payment from a eBay buyer. They wait till the buyer has received their item and is happy with the seller (or, doesn't complain).

Do you have a Gen1? The Gen II is a different motor. You can put a 17T on a Gen1. No case grinding required. You just need to remove the case protector where the chain runs around the front of the sprocket.

I've never used them or seen them installed on a bike. I have made minor adjustments to mine a couple of times to try and get them set just right, but it wasn't really necessary. Once they are set, they almost never need to be changed. The recommended setting for the jet kits is 3 to 3 1/2...
Factory Pro
CRB-Y69-1.0
It has needles, jets, shims, allen head screws to replace the philips head screws in the bowls.
They have a few other nice items for the FZ1, too.

The airbox mod will help in the mid range and top end (4K rpm and up). It's free and just makes the bike feel better when you turn it up. It doesn't help much at 3K - 4K rpm's. MPG's may be very slightly (insignificantly) higher without the airbox mod. MPG is mostly a function of throttle...
Dale's kit involves modifying the airbox as does RR's.
It is simple and you should do it. It really does improve performance with jetting.
The airbox top is a low cost part and is even available used sometimes, so it can be replaced if needed. It is simple to remove (you do it every time you...
Factory Pro and Holeshot both have kits that are straight drop ins. Both work great. Or, you could do RavenRiders mods (thread on the other site) for about $20.
Dales (Holeshot) comes with jets, an advancer, and uses shims on the OEM neeedles.
The FP kit comes with replacement needles and...
From the factory, I've seen them nearly completely closed to about 2 turns out. 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 is most common when jetting, except for Ivan's kit where he wants 4 1/2 to 5 turns out.
If you are completely stock and going to try changing the low speed screw settings, the carbs need to come out...
