I found an online retailer in 4mm x 2.5mm, the size the OP used.

I'm going to order from them and see if it works. I have a few riding buddies that will split the cost with me, as we have all discussed this mod, but couldn't locate the right tubing. Thanks OP for the size info.
$13.06 for a 25 meter length + shipping = $21.48
I already have 3 friends in on the order with me, so that's less than $5.50 for a very convenient mod.

4 mm is the correct size, not 6 mm. 5/32 is ok also. In fact, the tubing I bought has both 5/32 and 4 mm markings on it. There is only about .0013 difference in the nominal OD size between 5 /32 and 4 mm. 5/32 = .1562 and 4 mm = .1575.

Not sure what the threads are in the shocks but if metric fittings originally (Parker I believe) then one needs to proceed with caution if replacing those as well. It doesnt take a lot to cross thread brass fittings

Is that simply an extension that attaches to the stock valve? That's what it looks like in the ad.

The kit comes with a bracket and a longer valve as well as some tubing in case the stock tubing is not long enough. My kit arrived but I haven't had the time to install it. Maybe this weekend.

I use the HD pump and have had no issues with it so far. I wish I'd known there were cheaper ones around though. I thought it was a bit overpriced for $50. I like that it doesn't leak off when unscrewing from the valve and it seems to be of reasonable quality. Haven't considered moving the valve because its fairly easy to reach by lowering the left saddle bag lid on my 10 UC.
