Sounds good. All you need is 2 x 2-2.5mm washers araldited to the top shock and then it will go straight on. Use the same Fazer bolts.
I've just had a 95N/mm spring fitted on mine today (Standard BMW is 81N/mm and the Fazer is a soft 75N/mm). I've managed to get the static sag just right and although the roads were greasy it felt great. Even with the standard BMW spring it's way better than the Fazers. I weigh about 14 stone and tall.
The BMW shock is a quality piece of kit.
I found out about the 2012 being different too. Mine's 2011, hence nicely jacked-up just how I wanted it.
My mate popped out the top bush of the BMW shock and enlarged it on a lathe and it was much easier to do that he said.
Enjoy.
