R6? The forks are fine, just the 05's I guess weren't as good as the 06+ R6r forks. The telescopic on most of them aren't great but they take abuse that's for sure. The subframe does suck but once a steel one is on it's a beast and no problem slamming back on it. Could always fab your own up for cheap too if you don't want to spend the money. The fuel pump problem with it coming loose in the tank is easily solved by 3 self tapping screws through the base and into the pump housing, I did that and have had a few more hard drops and it hasn't come loose again. The stators are money but the rectifiers are known to burn up when the connectors get a little dirt and the resistance will end up burning out the plug. Best solution for that is to remove the entire harness from the rectifier to the stator and put your own harness with male and female connectors in place. Use some dielectric on the connectors and the recitifers won't get dirt or air gaps or anything leading to increased resistance that will burn them up.
Not arguing or anything, just the problems you listed are easily fixed. much rather deal with those issues than stuff like trannys.
