Re: r6 shock conversion
Yep, just put an 07 on my EN2. You just need two 5mm spacers for the top mount and a set of longer dog bones. There's a guy on ebay always selling EXUP engraved dog bones (listed under 'FZR Jack up kit') which raise the rear 30-35mm. They do the trick and when it's all fitted, the rear ends up virtually at the same height it was with the standard shock and dog bones. On the EN2, I had to grind back some of the right hand side top mount casting on the bike to allow the shock's reservoir to clear when fitted. Someone I know did this and was good enough to show me and let me copy the mod.
