Took the Evo for its MOT today ready for road tax from April 1st.
First ride since the front forks upgrade. Bearing in mind I haven't yet fitted the new Ohlins rear shock and the bike is still to be properly setup:

The front suspension is noticeably less "crashy and jarring" over uneven road surfaces. There is one piece of road which I ride & drive on regularly which is far from smooth & the bike felt far more settled and positive along it.

James fitted a band on the lower tube & although no hard braking was involved it didn't move below halfway so nowhere near bottoming out.

Very pleased thus far!

Added bonus, spotted a lovely blue & silver 900SS bevel circa 1975/6 in Beverley coming in the opposite direction but at a busy junction so no time to acknowledge unfortunately. It sounded awesome!
