My R1 forks are around 10 mm shorter than stock and I dropped them another 5mm.Cornering is so much nicer with the 55. You would only need to raise the front 2 to 3mm.
After blowing two +100 headlights in less than 18 months I've decided to try a pair of these:
Performance and price of LED headlights is now getting better than good incandescent globes and HIDs. LEDs also have the convenience of plug 'n' play so you don't need to wire in transformers like you do with HID.
Ordinarily it would only take a few minutes to change the globes but I want to get some decent before and after comparison pics as I go and, from what I've read, I'll also need to adjust the headlight aim. I think I'll leave the job until Sunday when I can take my time and rig the camera on the bike for the photos.
The incandescent globes only have a theoretical service life of 1,000 hours while the LEDs are supposed to be 30,000 hours. They'll probably outlast the bike and place less load on the alternator doing it.
Bought these off a Hong Kong eBay seller who claims they use quality CREE LEDs.

LEDs lights of this power get pretty warm, hence the cooling units for the ballast on the base. Some LED headlights have the ballast separate from the lamp but I couldn't be bothered finding somewhere to stick them.

Since I take no passenger on my FZ1 (I use the more comfortable upright seated Tiger for that purpose), I have removed both passenger footpegs and installed an R&G Exhaust hanger
Noted I need to use a shorter bolt as it comes too close to the rear arm
