I was looking at a YSS rear (among others) for my SV but eventually went for a monoshock from this company and was very happy with price, build quality and performance.
Thanks for that, they actually do a set with internal reservoir £400 . Not sure how I feel about combined compression & rebound adjustment though. Do you know if they are serviceable? Approx how many miles have you done?

Thanks, gives me a bit of confidence. Just got to make the decision now, the other plus side of Ohlins is the depreciation. I'd probably be able to sell them for a few hundred when I'm done with the bike. hmmm
