Hopefully i didnt just shoot myself in the foot. Purchased an 011 R6 shock off ebay. The Hi and Low speed adjustment screws are seperate entitys on this year model. The resulting casting changes to incorporate this change add abit of side to side width. Looks like the amount of overhang the hyd resivor does to one side is balanced out on the other side do to the area added behind the new low and high speed compression adjusting screws Has anyone tried this shock (011-012 R6)or am I about to become the sacrifical lamb?
It will work but you will need to buy more items and mod the bike some. There's an adapter to purchase and you will have to move the regulator rectifier to the other side of the bracket and cut that bracket up for air flow. Start with this post on the other site: FZ1OA Message Board - View Single Post - R1 rear shock installation and this is from the thread: R1 rear shock installation - FZ1OA Message Board This is a long read and you need to be a member to see the photos but if this is the route you're going, it's a great read.
