Hi .
I have read a lot of information about r6 shock absorber but can I use one from 08-2013 ?
ShowBizWolf has a 2010 R6 shock on her bike, I believe. So, it should be fine.
Here's what the wiki says:

2006 and newer R6 shocks are known to work. "R6S" shocks will NOT. Spring color does not matter, they come in red, yellow, silver or black.
--The shock needs to have the horizontally mounted reservoir; a vertically mounted one will not fit.
--Check the bottom end of the shock to make sure it has a clevis style bottom mount... meaning, it has the same u-shaped mount on the bottom that the stock GS shock has. If the R6 shock you're looking at has an eye-bolt at the bottom, it will not work because it will not fit together with the GS's linkage.
