GSXR 600 K5 Shock fits

My 750 was built to take, and has had fitted for years, an FZR 1000 Exup rear shock but after lots of searching, measuring and asking eBay sellers lots of annoying questions I decided to risk buying this shock, really wasn't sure if it would fit under the battery tray.

A couple of spacers to make for the top mount are no problem but I'm a bit torn on how to marry up the bottom mount with the EXUP rocker

the GSXR takes an M10 straight shouldered bolt whereas the EXUP has an M12 pin that reduces to M10 at the end.
My inclination is to open the shock mount to 12mm but I thought I would throw it open to the forum for any ideas " silly and otherwise "
 
I decided not to open out the GSXR shock, instead I shoveled some coal into my old lathe and made a sleeve to fit inside the GSXR fork and through the EXUP rocker arm, the bearing in the rocker arm is a rose joint type, so this should stop it getting nipped up when tightend and allow the use of the standard bolt rather than having to make a new stepped pin.
