showa 49 mm

hello!
I searched about this fork for T700 but I didn't find any user reviews.

It seems like a great option to me on paper. Does anyone have direct references?

Thank you

I know someone here in Portugal who has them and the owner of a YAMAHA dealership close to me that has the 48 mm Ohlins kit rode the Showa 49 mm kit on that T7 and he says they are just as great (but it is a personal preference at this point) although he says that for serious off-road use that he recommends the GYTR 48 mm KYB w/ the Tractive Xtreme Pro +25 (the same setup that Pol Tarres uses in his Erzberg/Romaniacs T7) but if you don need the extra-extra travel the Showas w/ 240 mm,  if I'm not mistaken, are just as good a choice for just about the same price
