Thanks Hellgate. You actually gave me the idea. I spent alot of time looking into this and overcoming the spring issue. I actually came across another thread in the versys forum. These guys are using the 2005 and later R1 shock, and swapping 12, 13, and 14kg springs with no issues.
If you look at racetech, they sell springs up to 11.6kg for the R1. And higher rates as "alternate"(these are the same part numbers as the FZ6 springs. Oh, and the spring is a direct swap. The collers are not needed for the stock, or the higher rate FZ6 spring.
