Default CB500 alternative rear shocks?

The rear shocks on my CB500 have failed so I need some new ones before MOT time which is next month. By failed I mean they make a grinding noise when compressed and have no rebound, they just compress under the weight of the bike.

I've found a few online but don't want to pay £150+ for new shocks as I this is just my winter hack so a used pair would fine.

Does anyone know anywhere where I could get some rears shocks cheap or if there are any shocks from other bikes that would fit?

It's for a '94 CB500.

Thanks.
