To use factory unmolested 12mm mounting ears and 10mm shock eyelet, you just need two sleeves like this. Might need to remove 1mm from width to not extend beyond width of mounting ears on frame. These fill up larger hole in frame mounting ears and allows simple bolt-on use of GSX-R 10mm bolt.

Just took apart my pre gen for swing arm service and found that the nut for the upper shock mount is actually welded to the frame so most likely you would need to drill out the eyelet of the shock.
