ATV piggybacks??

there's some atv piggybacks for sale for a fairly large atv... think they'll support the weight that's put on the rear of a kz1000 and a 200lb rider?

edit 2007 model year (shocks)

This might turn into a swap out of springs and other items as the shock height may not be the same without dropping the rear end. What is on the shocks now may be over sprung for the set up on your bike and give a harsh ride.

make the back end hop off the ground or just super stiff? i could live with super stiff since i have a gsxr swingarm on back burner, just want something cheap to lift the back end up. I think the shocks on my bike at the moment are only 10" eye to eye and it drags the header.

i don't have a picture at the moment but i eye-balled it, it might be closer to 11 inches. All i know for sure is that the bike sits on the header with the shocks on it now.
