Don't know about 'best' but I have the Aluminum swing arm, shock, and rear frame section from a bandit 1200 that I'm never going to get around to using. Can get you photos over the weekend. -Duck

kzr add here. It has link to photos with measuring stick

180 will fit. 200 will be really tight and may or may not fit depending on the tire.

read sig;)
it would be easier to weld the brackets on the swingarm to keep dual shocks, but I wanted the upgrade. just had to narrow the swingarm a bit at the pivot point to fit it in the frame, i think it was around 1/4 inch, plus drill the frame to accept the larger diameter pivot bolt
