You can use any of the f4 or f4i rear shocks. It will raise the rear ride hieght about and inch to inch and a half. But the bike will handle great. The main problem is finding a place for the shock reservoir. I had to zip tie mine to the subframe under the tank. Call CycleZoo, they will probably have some they'd sell for $20. www.cyclezoo.com
Here's mine with the f4i shock mounted and the front lowered and inch. Sorry not the greatest pics.

And are your handle bars OEM or are they clip-on's?
And i had an idea, would it be possible insted of buying clip-on's just move OEM bars under the tripple clamp( or what ever its called, you know what i mean :-)
