You guys can keep the R6 shock. The Kat Fe and rear is plenty to rattle my dentures lol.

Preload - collar
Rebound damping - lower screw
Compression damping - upper screw

This will give you a pretty good idea what to do.  :thumb:

really?

I have a GSXR rear and it is just right for me. A bit firm when set on max damping, but you can adjust it and now itis fine. And I weigh 175ish...

I suspect the r6 shock is softer than a kat. So your dentures may rest easier ...
Cool.
