Luddite, true, I haven't ridden an Evo but here is someone who has.

This guy sounds an honest guy - look what he says HERE "No need for Ohlins anything."

I think your confusing handling with your feel/confidence level.

I have twiddled my Suspension with Help from Darren at MCT
and its planted on road and trackdays.

No need for Ohlins anything.
Having bought many sets of Ohlins Forks etc over the years and I can tell you the Marzocchi forks on the Evo, (same forks on 848 streetfighter apart from Spring changes)
are very similar once setup correctly.

KAIS sound like they are not good with Marzocchi from what I read here.

I have ridden 2 1100S Monsters and the only improvement I felt is better compression damping on the forks as standard on the standard settings (the evo forks are set with too much low speed comp) on std settings
and the spring rate is too low for me at 80 kg and I have a 2mm washer to raise my rear ride height to suit the resprung forks. (my springs are 9.5n/mm) (Springs off ebay Italy as nobody had 1100 evo springs last year when I got setup done) as far as I can see on my setting sheet.

But I have an aggressive riding style and do lots of trackdays so every bike needs to be set to suit it's own rider.
