I need new shocks to my Laverda

The YSS shocks I just put on the RGS stipulate that they must be fitted 'upside down'.

That's because you live in Australia.
 
And use styrofoam wheel weights too.....oops, sorry...
Wilburs are actually a reasonable price in Norway from the importer Maartens and are apparently good. The units one step up from basic, with rebound only adjustment, would do the job fine and they set them up to suit, as any good shocks are.

I have Wilbers on the 1000 SFC and YSS on the Jota. Absolutely no difference I could fell and I ride both to the edge of the tire, the Jota even until it touches ground with the alternator cover (race-track). The only difference I could feel was in my wallet...

The difference is in the build quality, the Wilburs can continue to be rebuilt and serviced for much longer than the YSS, some people like the best and some people settle for second best, Nothing wrong with the yss, have both
 
YSS are fully serviceable, too. If they really should be going bang and are not repairable - they only cost 1/2 of the Wilbers... so - if they only last half the time of the wilbers, they cost the same. I doubt it will just be half the time to be honest...  ;) And if they last 2/3 of the time of the wilbers, you safe money and they will potentially outlast my biker life...
