R1 forks are popular as they are longer than most USD forks.
From memory, the 4XV / 5JJ / 5PW forks are around 770mm from top cap shoulder to centre of axle - assembled but without any weight on them.
You can see my old thread below where I compared the length of Fazer FZS1000 forks with early R1 USDs and RWU R6 5SL forks.

The R1 USDs and R6 RWUs pictured are about the same length as the FZS600's forks. Anything much shorter and you could well have ground clearance problems.
Regarding the speedo, Muddybuddy provided a solution for fitting an altered speedo sensor to either a replacement front-end or working off the rear brake disc instead. Unless you want rid of the standard clock setup?
