Hi Steve, I bought a YSS shock for my '88 600. The cheapest price at the time was 263 GBP.
It was definitely an improvement on the tired old shock.
Mine is actually adjustable for height, but raising height causes the chain to run with a "bend" in it which might wear away the rubber slider on top of the swingarm.
Update - my YSS shock sprung an oil leak today. I am not impressed, as it has only done about 900 gentle miles since I fitted it. It's all been on-road too,and with no pillion. I reckon it was riding over speed bumps today that did it.
Thankfully the shock came with a 2-year warranty but now I have the hassle of removing it, returning it and fitting whatever they send me back. Grrr!
