is there any modern aftermarket shock like r6,636,GSXR shock that works without too much modification to be done to work on a NC30?

Just have to file 2mm off the top mount of the shock, 3mm off the undertray mount so the remote doesnt rub, and the stock bmw spring is weak as fuck.
Do a search on here it will come up. Its been covered many times.

It does have a remote res. I will have to open the box tonight when I get home, but I have some old pics on flickr...
The shock is pretty dirty in this pic, but I think it is in pretty good condition. Of course it could probably use a refresh of oil and nitrogen.
