Can't go wrong with the Ohlins if you can afford it. Another good option that a few members here have gone for is the Penske shock. Do a search and you'll find out more details.

You weight about the same as me, the stock shocker isn't up to the job. I have Ohlins YA906- best mod on this bike. If you can afford it Ohlins or Penske are the best.

There are threads here about people who went to great lengths to retrofit a R1 shock since used ones are plentiful and cheap however they are too short. I've heard that an '09 or '10 Suzuki GSXR 1000 shock is the same length, is adjustable and is a decent unit - about $150 to $200 used.
