Sorry Micheal no experience of Wilbers suspension......the main thing is the remote resovoir if you want to make it as it was , so as to be able to adjust it.
I suppose it depends on the budget, Hagon are a good unit and you can add the remote resevoir, YSS are generally ok for reasonable money.
A search for new old stock Suzuki GSX750ES sometimes comes up with the replacement item with added rebound adjuster which can be unscrewed.

I have YSS piggy backs on my 400 Katana and I like them, though the first set went back as the compression adjustment screw leaked oil, but it was an easy process.

I also got the more basic twin shocks for the 1100 which I like as well.

I got mine from (linked to the monshock page):

Which list various makes with comments about each. The Willbers come with 5 year guarantee I see. I think in the end you have a budget and buy the ones you want for that. I think given the age of the 750, the YSS will save some and work well leaving some to refresh the front!

Now, I have bought the Wilbers 540 Rear-Suspension and will replace it in my Pop-Up in the next winter month.

Is that a straight swap Michael?
I have had someone here rebuild the pop up rear suspension now.

I have started with the disassembly of the old suspension this week. Now the swingarm and some other parts are in my workshop for cleaning and checking ... maybe I will replace some bearing, but we´ll see.

Old vs. New
The adjusting lever will be remounted only for decoration on the bike :D

So, the winter is gone and I have done some testrides. For my feeling the rear suspension from Wilbers is good and works very well.
The basic set-up was done by Wilbers. With the order I had to make some specifications about my weight, how I ride the bike (sporty, normal, etc.), where I ride the bike (racetrack, normal road, etc.) and so on.
So I don´t have to do any further adjustments on the suspension.
Regards
Michael

That's looking good, I have YSS on my 400 and 1100 and like them.

If you like there is a Projects section if you want to add a thread and add images as you go, to keep your bikes progress all in one place.
