Klaus (formerly of Wilbers-USA) is suggesting the YSS and told me he would personally deal with a re-build if I was stuck somewhere, but then I am relying on him staying in business...
Any other thoughts out there?

For a KLR it's hard to beat the service and quality of the Moab shock from Rick at Cogent Dynamics. He will custom make a shock to your specs and needs.
Here's a good thread about them:
Cogent Dynamics Suspension - ADVrider
Recently there's been a buzz about a new shock for the KLR650 from Ricor, but it still too new to really tell yet.
Many folks are very satisfied with the Moab shock, myself included.
And the customer service is second to none, that counts for a lot IMHO.
Give them a call.
