Since this site is all about economy, a rear shock is a huge energy waster, if you are not riding off-road you could convert to a rigid rear end. A piece of tubing with 6.5" holes would accomplish this very inexpensively, adding a heim joint would allow ride height adjustment, but would be more costly and take fabrication. This will at least get you back on the road while your search for a new shock continues.

All the reason to invest in a better shock. If the OP is noticing the bike bouncing around I doubt the OP wants all the shocks being transferred to the spine instead.
