I am in a process of the bandit 400 swingarm swap and need a 315-320mm shock to complete the swing arm swap, does anyone have any suggestion about that?

Why a bandit Swing Arm.....

Beacuse my mate have a set of  spare bandit 400 fork and swing arm( with the rear wheel ).......and the bandit 400 swing arm is wider and longer than the gs500 swingarm......
also it is lighter than the gs500 swing arm...... as it is aluminium

Finally I have got a shock from a GSX-R400 race book, which belong to a local champion, for around 130USD, which is a fully adjectable pigggy suspension, I think I need to get a set of pod to find some space for the suspension

Will try fit it soon.
