You got the right bones to do the swap...But the bike will sit 30mm higher... I tried to invert the top shock mount (which you can do...) But you have to grind down some material off the mount in order for the 05-06 shock not to have interference on the bottom sides of eyelets; there is interference if you invert your mount... I left as is, and will see if the handling is on the + side (I think it looks better with a higher tail)
I like the fact of a higher back end, but I will tell you after riding, if its still the case....
Here are my pics of the retrofit: Hope this helps you out...
