Minor Winter Project - installing suspension worth 1/3 of the bike

I'm hoping that it'll come up to the level of the Penske, on my VFR. The research I did, before buying it, tells me that it should be in that class.

I really doubt that it will match the feel of the Ohlins Type 4, that I had on a previous bike. Nothing that I've tried, on the track or off, has come close to it. In the course of 3 years it did need several rebuilds though, where the Penske just soldiered on.
