Over in Yurop they seem quite fond of the RS250 shock upgrade; like the SP1 shock you've gotta hack up the battery tray & get a smaller battery.
Have you had a look on http://www.400greybike.co.uk?

[nc30vfr400]

rs250 sounds expensive, gotta try find dimensions of standard so i can start comparing

Robert Taylor can make an Ohlins for you. Not cheap, but probably the best option.

ohlins is far to rich for my blood at the mo. when i can find a 2nd hand rear for around a hundy. cheers man

You won't find an SP1 shock for $100.

You might (million to one chance) find one and some mysterious benefactor may let you buy it for $100 but once it has been resprung and revalved to suit a much lighter and smaller bike you may as well have bought a new Ohlins.

Don't scrimp on sorting your suspension. It does more than stop your arse dragging on the ground.

[nc30vfr400]

okay? people i know have bought sp1 shocks off tard me for 80 - 100 bucks and k1 gixxer thou rears also go for that much, all i wanna do is improve it, they have soft rears i dont wanna pay what i did for the bike on a rear shock thats all. Just looking for something thatll bolt in and raise the ride height a touch and be a bit harder, sifting through the google searches ive found that the sp1 shock will do just that. cheers anyway.

For a reason.

Don't put it on without getting it rebuilt.
