You most probably will. When I changed to WP in my older Twin, I got 
an increase of.. well plus 5-10 km/h in almost every curve.
The feeling will be kind of "stiffer", but you won't consider it 
"hard" or oversprung.

The front end won't dive away that much on braking, the wheel keeps 
better contact to the road when there's bumps in the curves.
I loved the improvement very much.

I just came back from the garage, where I put my newer Twin back 
together again, fresh Enduro 4 on the wheels, new steering head 
bearings (geez, the original ones were rusty!) and WP spings and 
oil in the fork legs! Took me two evenings, but now it's done!
