Regarding sharing parts, the two bikes share the same engine, which I would suggest is the main thing, unless you were planning on carrying lots of other spares.
Just been looking on the XT660.com website and there is a longish thread on there regarding lowering the Tenere:

lowering links
I have recently bought a XT660Z and was given the lowering links for the 'height' problem. I'm 6' 1" and even though it's a bit high I'll happilly sell you the lowering links for a meagre donation..! (ie,you pay the postage and they're yours!!) I'll just have to dig them out of the shed.
I'm heading off on friday for Europe but will be back for the end of the month... Let me know. XT660Z is the way ahead, stick the BM up yer arse!!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
