    YSS fork valves

    Does anybody have any feedback on the YSS emulators, im thinking of a set for my GS1000 with Hagon progressive springs. Part number I was thinking is YSV265.
    Thanks.

    Im using them on my GS now. They work great and were allot less expensive than the Racetech Gold valves.

        Rather than getting progressive springs (from whichever company), I would suggest straight-rate springs.

        Sonic is a good place to get them.

        A lot more affordable, too.

          I concur on the straight rate springs over progressive. Sonic is a great supplier but OP is in the UK so Hagon may be a better deal for him.

              I forgot to ask - where are you buying the YSS emulators from?

                I would think that going to the distributor: http://www.yssusa.com/index.html would be the best bet. I got my shocks directly from the U.S. location in New Jersey.
