Default Suspension advice required - ZX6R-B1H.

Haven't posted here in a while but I'm after some sensible advice! I'vew got a Kawasaki ZX6R B1H which is renouned for rock hard suspension. After talking to a suspension guru on another forum I've swapped the linkage for an 04 ZX10 and shock from an 07 ZX6R. The bike now handles better but it's still very hard for road riding and tends to kick me out of the seat if I go over any largish bumps (although a lot less than with the original shock).

I'm trying to decide between getting an aftermarket shock (Maxton or Penske most likely) and have done with it or the cheaper option of having the 07 shock re-sprung and re-valved. As I expected on a Supersport bike forum (no offense to this forum) quite a few recommend the aftermarket shock, but I'm not 100% convinced my riding ability warrants spending that kind of money.

So....what do you all think? I've been thinking about this for ages so may have even posted this on here somewhere before, if I have then sorry!
