I believe it is the latter case. There would be questions about the separation distance of the fork tubes in the triple tree and spacers to accommodate that, the axle length and diameter, we know 02-03 brake calipers fit 04-06 FZ6s, and we also know that the FZ6 uses a taller profile tire than both the R6 and R1.
