**Needed** 85 VF700F Rear shock HELP!!!

Thank you for looking at this topic! I'm restoring a 1985 VF700F interceptor and ran into a brick wall. The rear shock is bad which is a $1100 part from Honda, and seems to be hard to find as a working salvage item(I have 3 now, ALL bad). Showa is the manufacture of this shock. Is there a aftermarket suplier or does anyone know of someone who has converted to something else? The bike is not worth what they want for a new shock. I hate to part out the bike or sell it as a project to someone else. Please help!!
Thank you,
Hip

Has anyone ever converted some other shock to this bike?

I have low mileage take offs from a VFR800, VTR1000, and CBR600F4i. Any one shipped to you for $50.00
