Don't know if it'll work.I don't know how much the FZ1 weighs.If it's lighter than the GS, it will compress.If it's heavier than the GS it will raise it.If it only has 9mm over the GS shock,it might go .25 to .50 of an inch higher.

OPPPS.Top shock mount won't fit because of the resvoir.That's why hardly no one runs the GSXR shocks.
