I think with a little modification, you can get an R6 / R1 shock to fit.

You might want to check out an FZR forum first.

I imagine the other early FZRs will be the same as the Foxeye. I expect it was changed for Fazers in 1996, when the Fazer and Thundercat were released together.

Is a Fazer and a FZR the same thing? Rolling Eyes

If so, the fully faired ones should all be the same as the Foxeye. The unfaired ones will most likely be different.

does anyone know whats involved in fitting an R1 or R6 rear shock or if its possible at all Confused

I doubt it'll fit. The R6 has a remote reservoir mounted on the back of the shock, It looks like it would foul the fzr600 swingarm.
See below.

That FZR swingarm looks worse than mine Laughing

And there is just enough room for the shock and spring, nowt else.

Sorry, I must try harder next time. Heres a diagram of a 1994 FZR600R swingarm. I'd say it has about the same clearance as the earlier models so i'm going to stick my neck out and say an R6 shock will not fit.

earlier R6 shocks with the side mounted reservoir may fit.

same year FZR750 or 1000 shocks may be a better bet.
