When you say linkages, do you mean the dog bones or are you referring to some part of the shock?
@Gnasher is prolly the best person to ask as he worked as a race tech for a time and I know he has recommended the nitron shock when people have been looking at replacing the stock shock.
I myself managed to pickup a used Ohlins with the external preload adjuster, does the job. All I need to do (at some point) is get my spare forks rebuilt with better needles as per Gnashers advice.
Regarding that FZ1 in your post, for 100k miles that bike is in very good cond. clearly its never spent any time in the rain or salty environment.
