But when I get an idea in my head I want to do something about it NOW! ... and then have the parts sit in my shed for 6-12 months until I get a chance to do anything and then another 6-12 months until I finish it! ;-)

Sigh... that's one problem with living so far away from anywhere - the cheapest set I found (4 plugs + harness) was at least $100 more than that. And that is from the UK. One 'local' (other side of the country) ebay seller is asking for $220 for the same thing!

Do the later 6th gen, 8th gen, or even 7th gen have COP setups that would fit the 5th gen engine?

http://www.extremecreations.com.au From your neck of the woods keef. They do a range of extensions for Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, etc, forks. I originally ordered a set to suit the '99 R1 forks I was going to use, then came across the FZ1 forks (which look nicer to my eyes, being all black). Had to get a new lower (small) extension piece made as the R1 have a different size thread in the bottom of them 10mm vs 12mm or something like that). They are only available in a black finish.

Thank you! (I think so too!) :-)

While not exactly entirely R1, the front end on my 5th gen is a combination of R1 yokes, FZ1 forks / brakes /wheel and 50mm fork extensions to enable me to use VFR1200 clip ons. I'm happy with the result! :-)
