Nothing a little engine paint can't fix! I resprayed mine. So far it's hiding up great.

I cleaned and scuffed the whole engine, applied semi gloss engine paint, then black pear vht engine paint. To give it the original metallic like finish. You can't tell where it was faded into the original paint. Worked great. And yes around 1", I'm 5' 9" so doing the r6 mod dropped the rear around an inch. it worked perfectly.
Update on the R1 front end. I installed the stiffer racetech springs to compensate for the extra weight of the FZ over the R1. At 200lbs with full gear they are a little bit to stiff for me. I think leaving in the stock springs would have worked just fine.
What weight of fork oil are you using? Maybe you just need to go with a lighter weight.
I knew I would be back. Just not this soon. But it's a deal to good to pass up since I know the history of the bike and he installed all the parts I told him to install.
