You shouldn't need a spring compressor. You should be able dismantle the shock at the bottom.

Slacken the preload rings right off to take all the load off the spring. That should allow you to push up on the disc that the spring sits on at the bottom of the shock and slide it out, to allow you to remove the spring.

This is true for later GSXR Shocks anyway, should be the same for yours.
