R6 shock upgrade

[Gaz66]

Hi Peeps.


Not long since joined FOCU.
Some interesting reading on here.
Upgraded from a very modified & tuned Kawy ZRX 1136R.


In it's place is a Silver 53 plate bog standard Fazer 1000.
Way better bike IMHO.


My question is, which year R6 shock works best on a Fazer 1000 & what's the correct length of the dog bones required? As I've heard R6 shocks are a tad shorter, so I assume different length dog bones will be required to bring ride height back to original.
I may fabricate my own? but if anyone can recommend a supplier I'll try that option if the price is right.


Thanks in advance, any info is mucho appreciated..
