My Swinger came off of a Trek Liquid which came stock at 8.25" or 210mm. If you can find one from a Liquid (at least up through the 2005 models - I'm not sure if they're still the same), it's exactly the same eye to eye as the K2 Smart. Thanks to someone on this forum I saw it for $120 brand new on ebay (Buy it Now price) and jumped on it as fast as I could.

I still had to modify the swingarm mounts a tad to make it fit - not a big deal, but you might be able to mount it the other way around without modifications on yours. (The bolt holes on the carbon plates of the 5500 frame are not nearly as recessed as the ones on my aluminum 5000 frame. I've seen guys mount shocks on the carbon frames in ways that would never fit on mine).
