I've got these forks on my bike. Here's what's needed.
Front and Rear fender brackets. Get in touch with forum user RyanK. He CNC machined some very nice brackets that get the job done. A couple of the screws in his kit were on the short side, but that was easily corrected.
You can also make your own out of aluminum flat bar from Home Depot. This takes more work and doesn't look as good as the RyanK brackets. But they will do the job just fine.
Axle spacers. Two are needed and they will need to be machined.
Axle inside spacer. This fits inside the right hand fork leg, and compensates for the fact that the R6 axle is shorter than the FZ6 axle.
You can omit this if you don't mind the axle not being all the way inserted into the left hand fork leg.
On the other hand, if you do use it, the axle bolt threads won't be as far into the axle, so be very careful abut your axle tightening torque.
Either way it's a tradeoff. You decide what is best for your bike.
Brake caliper spacers. I have the Official Spacer Kit that somebody on SBN was selling. Guess what? They're washers. Buy four washers of about the right thickness and size, and put them between the calipers and the forks.
Brake calipers are designed so that they can adjust for a misalignment, so all you need to do is get Close Enough. The washers do this just fine.
Also, those forks on Ebay look to be the right ones. And you could resell the switches, tripleclamps and other leftovers and make some money back.
Hope this helps.
