Oh, that was Luke / DevilsYam's comment, and although it related to fitment on the Fazer 1000 it sadly appears to apply to the 600 as well.
1999 - 2005 R6 shocks have the circular bottom shock mount so the linkage mechanism to the swingarm is different from Fazers.
The 2006-07 shocks have the same bottom mount as our bikes, but the top reservoir layout (separate high and low speed adjusters) forms a large body that interferes with / fouls the frame. That was the version Luke / Devilsyam referred to in his hammer comment and probably the one you've seen on ebay?
The 2008-2014 shocks have a combined high/low speed reservoir (look for gold outer and blue inner top adjuster) and magically fit both the FZS1000 and 600.
Unfortunately these 2008 onwards units have become the rarest versions on ebay and are becoming more expensive as they can be adapted to other bikes including Bandit 600s & Suzuki GS500s (!)
