Tdm 900 Advice?

There was a change at some point in the lower fork clamp design, which was flat in the early models and then became cranked in order to hold the forks lower down the stanchions, which gives a bit better control at the front. And it is only a little bit of improvement. I changed mine from flat to cranked and only noticed a small difference, it probably wouldn't make a difference to me when buying one, which type it had.

 

The fact that there are few differences over the whole production run probably speaks a lot about how well it was made in the first place.
