2006 model shocks are the ones you want, they have a slightly smaller res. You just need to shim the top mount with 2 washers and thats it.

£60 for one, £30 for a new spring and £80 for a service = £170 for a freshly serviced, re-sprung fully adjustable shock.

will a cbr900rr shock fit the same as a 600? I've seen one on fleabay, and did a bit of research and apparently they have a 850lb spring as standard, if this is true then would it need revalving?

No the mounting points are wrong, you'd probably get away without revalving a standard shock for a 800lb spring

cheers for the reply, I'm 13 stone plus gear so i guess I'd need to go for a 850 spring? although i know fuck all about the dark art of suspension, i just know that my shock is fubar and need to replace it cheapish.

Glad to hear the lightweight subframe can keep the undertray as my mods need it. My bike is mostly used for track days but I sometimes ride to them.

I have fitted a removeable no plate and lights at the back with a race seat so when I get to the track its just 2 bolts and a quick connector. All can be reversed as it plugs into the existing loom, no cutting. Just need the ally subframe now!
