Good morning David & welcome
until you find your way around the forum then here's a link below to the R6 shock mod on the FZS1000 forum,
from what i've gained from peeking over the fence from the far better FZS600 garden then 'Devilsyam' is the resident expert on this mod, i do believe i've seen that not all r6 shocks work, many have bought the wrong ones.there seems to be page upon page about the subject to keep you busy but you'll need to scroll back over the history of the conversations, plus i think if you look at the topics on the FZS1000 forum, someone posted up a link very recently which answers all of the usual questions about the bike, like a quick cheat sheet.
anyway here's the link to the R6 thing:-
