Wish I could help but I've not heard anything about them. Hopefully someone has some experience with them.

ive got a set in some forks from a 3en1 track bike, (forks and bits still for sale!) you may want to up the weight of the oil as well for the track, but it's a case of try it first standard then change it to see if it works better for you. i never had any worries about the front and is was a massive improvement over the stock ones that had me lifting the rear going into the hairpin at malloy, which isn't much fun!
the rear i don't know about but it's seen as a more budget shock compared to others but i recon it would be ok. I used the standard set hard and seemed to manage ok, again it will be an improvement over stock without a doubt!
hyperpro do some aswell i think.

I know cb160 racers swear by hagon shocks. But I dont have experience with their mono shock

Hi,
hagons gear tends to be pretty good, know a few racers with their monoshocks but not on FZR's mostly Gixxers.
They will make the rear shock to suit you from a"kit" of bits basically.

As for front shocks take a look at my write up :-

before you spend money on anything.

Best 150 odd quid i ever spent on a bike mod (and i have 50 years of riding behind me )

Yeah, I'd be interested to see pics of your bodywork conversion as well as a description of what was necessary to make it work. Are you using and R6 tank cover?
