Thing is we cant touch the dogbones/links at AFM production. So i have to work around that.

btw - Are you Nemesis on Barf ?
I havent checked them all, but from looking at photos its pretty easy to tell which shocks will and wont fit, if the reservoir sits above the upper shock eye, you got a no-go. Even the shock I bought interfered with the tray, but not the air box. I trimmed the tray and left it at that.

As for AFM rules... The only other way around this that I could see would be either dropping the upper shock mount down (which MAY get you some clearance for one of the longer gsxr shocks, or finding a way to elongate the lower fork on the GSXR lower shock fork.
