The cut-off rear frame loop is not ideal, but if you still have the curved & straight frame crosstubes under the seat you should be fine for everything less than hardcore racing.
I'd either run all four stock shock mounts with the longest-travel shocks you can find, or the lay-down mounts with short shocks to a swingarm with moved-fwd mounts. My bike has slightly-forward top & bottom mounts & modified side covers, which is by no means long-travel but works fine for what it is.
