    Virago 500 swingarm is monoshock, would probably bolt right up, but you'd have to fab a shock mount on your frame somewhere. I haven't really investigated closely, but my buddy has a Virago and it looked do-able at a glance.

    Find a Seca II to look at; they had a lot of parts in common with the 550s, but had a monoshock rear suspension.
