Need a new rear shock for my 06 Roketa DB07

Any suggestions on a replacement shorck for my 06 Roketa DB07
It has the older style direct swingarm mount.
I would prefer a replacement that is better than stock.. But the original has really gotten pretty bad, and very bouncy..

Thanks

ive heard of people doing a bit of welding and cuting and managing to get a yam r1 or a cbr600 unit lol
all i can say is replace with a better shock than the woeful standard shock

Nope mine just connects directly to the swing arm.. its an 06 model. I have looked at the newer ones at the wholesaler where I bought mine.. all the new ones have the linkage type... with an adjustable height on it... I can barely get my leg over it.. and can't touch the ground.. also the spring is WAY WAY WAY stiffer.. like my 220lbs does not make it even move... mabye its adjusted all the way up.. not sure.
