Lifan Earth Dragon Rear Shock Help

Hi all, I'll need a new rear shock for my Lifan Earth Dragon (LF125Gy-3 2007 model) before its MOT in July, but I'm having a devil of a job finding one. Does anyone know offhand of an equivalent that will fit my bike without me having to pull the whole bike to bits just to get it off and measure it? (It's just that I need to whip a new one straight back on cos I need the bike for work, so couldn't wait around for a new part to arrive with the bike off the road and in bits...) I've tried measuring the shock's dimensions as it is on the bike but I'm not sure how accurate a measurement that'll be!

I can't think of a work-around for actually removing and measuring the shock. Once you do, replacements should be easily found on eBay.

BTW, Lifan Earth Dragon sounds like it could be an awesome '80's rock band.
