Front brake upgrade

I have a 1994 FZR 1000 with the 6 pot calipers; one is leaking. Looking to upgrade to R1 gold spots, but need to know what years are compatible and if it is a straight forward bolt on. Any help would be appreciated!!!!!
Thanks

Any of the axial gold pot. Or blue. So basically earlier years. Also r6 works too but they are usually blue.
The only ones that don't work are the radial mount. I.e. bolt goes through the top like the new r1. An r1 master would give better feel also.

Thanks for the info. Plan on trying to find a complete set on ebay including lines and master.

I had a couple gold dots on my watch list for when i get going on the fzr again. My rc51 is burning all my money at the moment....
You should have no problem finding good gold dots for less than 100$
