Easiest first, the shocks you looking at won't fit. The top eye needs to be 14mm and the bottom eye 10mm in diameter (both 21mm wide). A budget shock like these are the correct size https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KAWASAKI-ZR ... 1564292825
They seem to be available in a variety of colors. Are they any good???? All I can say is you largely get what you pay for when it comes to suspension components.
You should still expect to fit a heavier spring 99% likely. This is what a correct rate progressive spring should look like supporting just the weight of the motorcycle ....
As you can imagine there is still 'room' for the lighter weight coils at the top to remain open and work when the rider sits on the motorcycle. If they are all coil bound they may as well not exist, they are nothing other than a spacer for a relatively short spring (the heavier section).
