Hi, I'm looking to fit some shock absorbers to my R90S to replace the YSS items that are on there. I'm happy to buy a knackered pair and have them rebuilt, but I don't know anyone in the UK (aside from Hagon) who does this. I want the shocks to look correct for the bike - hence the move away from the YSS.

Alternatively I'm happy to buy a replacement set, but IKON don't seem to offer shocks that look the one below.

Any suggestions on the best route forward please?

I’d probably go down the rebuild route. If you can find an original-looking pair in poor condition, having them professionally rebuilt would give you the correct period appearance while still getting properly serviced internals. Hagon may be worth asking about as well, but I’d be interested to hear if anyone knows a UK specialist who can rebuild these to look like the originals.
 
My go to is the ikon dialaride shocks with the optional cost stainless shrouds.
Bit pricey but in my opinion the best option for period look and performance
I did email Ikon, it's around £420 for that option. I agree they look really good.
