So what measurement you want: eye to eye or from top to tail? I've got an R shock lying around I can measure, can't get accurate eye to eye though.
So you're an Aussie and not Indo? I will reserve my judgement on what I think Bali has changed into.
That is a neat MC28 SP.
Other options are a CBR 600 F4i if you can get your hands a new remote reservoir cable and shave a bit off one of the mounts. It will give you a harder spring rate and different valving, I don't know what the ride is like though.
