R6 rear shock on the FZS600

[kebab19]

Ah yes, was hinting @ what was to come 
Thanks, I've made a few suspension mods in my time here (first for a 600, then for my 1000 & now back to a 600 again):

Having said that, this wasn't my idea, Luke / Devilyam came up with the great idea for fitting these shocks to the FZS1000 & they work well. Tho I am the first to have fitted one (so far).
Haven't ventured too far on the new shock yet (6 miles, all town riding) but it feels more compliant, a little softer than the original shock but perhaps it was harsh previously because the damping had gone. I'm not sure whether to aim for settings while @ standard rear ride height or jack it up a little, but at least my kidneys will survive bumps from now on. More fine tuning to come.

I'm turning my attention to the FZS600's front-end again next. Thundercat forks have been done, TRX850 forks are another option, or R6 5SL front forks if the front speedo drive can be bored out successfully (well I do have a set of 'em sitting in the garage  :lol ). Or I may just modify the damping internals of the standard forks. Decisions decisions...
