I've not done the swap myself, (I've got an 1100 Evo), but I did look at clevises when I changed my rear shock.
The Evo item is part no. 82919631A and is about £15. It's about 11mm longer than the 696 version and has the added benefit of increasing ground clearance whereas you'd lose some height if you just pulled the forks through the yokes.
I think, if you don't currently have a problem getting your feet on the ground so don't mind raising the seat height a bit, I'd go for the clevis. You can always still fine tune the feel by moving the forks afterwards and it just gives you a greater range of adjustment.
The different brackets are shown below (1100 on top).
