right iv got an 06 z750. want to swap rear shock to a 05/06 zx636. i need to modify the bottom of the shock link? (where the bush is) can i just file down the bush insert or is it the whole arm that needs machined? or can i get a bush for an 05/6 and stick it in instead?
ps i also know about the rectifier thats no prob
anyhelp or pics would be awesome thanks. is it easier to get the linkage with the shock and just swap the lot?

You can swap the entire shock and linkage and it all bolts in. I bought just the '06 ZX-6R shock without the linkage, and trimmed down the inside of the lower shock ears to fit over the stock Z750S bushing. Good luck!!

I also installed a rear shock off an 04, it was a direct fit. Pretty easy install.
