^ brings up good points. Sure you can do the whole gsxr swap for say $60 ??
but now you have an over sprung shock that is not valved correctly and has a slight geometry change with the linkage.

new spring $100
new valves $150? IDK? maybe more
Now you are looking at over $310

Still a load cheaper than $900 for the ohlins I linked im sure it could be had cheaper through the right dealer or even used.

brings the price point a little more into perspective plus resale value of the ohlins if it comes to it.

Would be hard pressed to sell odd ball gsxr shock that you dumped cash into drilled out, grinded ect... for much of anything
