I think B's reasoning is based on the latest R6 shock (by some fluke) having remarkably similar properties regarding travel and stroke to the early Fazer 1000's shock, which itself could be grafted on to the 600 (although it's spring is not suited to the lighter bike unless you're a bloater).
Furthermore the R6 shock has a spring that would *just about* be suitable for the 600, probably when set to minimum preload. As such, it would *possibly* be a suitable donor shock for the 600, but don't think anyone has tried to transplant one yet. In theory it would physically fit but whether the damping would match is another question.
I guess if you have both Fazers and an R6 shock you're in the best position to give it a go!
