About the axle and nut i have found also these posts:
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.
Look at your left fork leg and you'll see that the axle isn't inserted all the way into the fork leg. That's what the spacer corrects.[/I]

I was looking back through this and have to say that you do need the axle shims. If you don't use them, your forks will not be parallel with each other. This will cause premature wear and improper opperation.
The reason for the shims is that the fork mounts in the tripple on the FZ are farther apart than on the R6, so when you mount up the forks on the FZ they are farther apart. That is why there is a gap.
