I did the R6 shock mod because I didn't realize the R1 mod was available at the time! I did this about a year ago or more.

I might be thinking about switching to the R1 shock in the near future.

It's basically the same as putting on an R6 shock except you maintaine the same amount of travel (5.1"). And yes, race tech makes rear springs as well.

First Glace at my R1 Shock / '07 Swingarm Mod

Killer, the R1 shocks are cheap and all over eBay. Post up about the hardware you used when you get the chance.

Is the R1 shock better than the R6 shock and easier to fit?

Ohlins 46HRC Rear Shock for me. I haven't really had a chance to ride the bike yet but almost anything is gonna be better than the OEM shock. It was too soft for 235lbs and not enough feedback when set to higher preload settings.

Maybe if you keep asking questions that have already been answered in several places you'll finally get your answer right where you want it...maybe not.

HINT...look at post #63...and#58...and many others in this and other threads.

*hungover and grumpy today*
