Hi guys could do with some opinions please. Over the last few years I’ve lost abit of weight and fitness, im now 155 with kit on. It’s got it’s downsides this getting old malarkey 

Anyhow, I’ve decided I’m going to go full on with a refurb starting with the suspension F/R on my Fantic 200 

So opinions please on …

Front - HFS Expert or YSS Emulators 

Rear - Falcon or Rock Shocks

Or feel free to say if you think there are better options?

I have experience with YSS emulators.  They provide the same benefits as Race Tech's emulators -- variable compression damping.  

I was unfamiliar with HFS Expert, and had to do a search. https://suspensionhfs.com/en/ https://suspensionhfs.com/en/  This appears to offer the benefits of a modern cartridge fork, which is a huge advantage over damper-rod forks.  I would not hesitate to try them.  Being 155 pound in your riding gear means you will want their light springs. (I'm about the same weight.)  If you go with YSS emulators, you will still need to source softer fork springs. 

Whatever you choose for the rear, make sure there are springs available for your weight -- especially if you have softer than standard springs in front.
