The simplest replacement option for the FZS600 is a Hagon shock which are around £299 new with a 2 year warranty. If you weigh more than 95 Kgs go for the heavier spring. It fits straight in and no playing with dog bones or spring rates. I have one on my FZS600 and has covered over 60000miles, but I opted for the heavier spring as I do a lot of 2 up touring and thought the standard Hagon was a bit to soft for my liking
One issue with replacing the 600 shock with ones from the R6 is getting a spring to suit as the standard 600 spring is 14.7 Kg/mm whereas the R6 is around 10.5Kg/mm.

I have an 2012 S1000RR rear shock on the FZS1000 which is a relatively simply fit and no changes to the dog bones. It raises the rear by 10mm which suits the FZS1000. The earlier 2010 and 2011 S1000rr ones are not really suitable as the spring is softer and the shock is really to long.
