Thanks, I'm really happy with how they look and with the service. I just told them what hubs and rims I had and they did the rest. My spokes are 8 gauge, which are larger than the stock GL spokes so I had to drill out the spoke holes in the rear hub to make them fit - the Cognito hub on the front needed the larger gauge spoke and I wanted them to match
I read that regarding their specialty spokes about possibly haven't to drill out the holes. The nipples fit through the holes in the rims with no issue?
I really like the look of those spokes. I don't mind drilling the holes out in the hubs but not real excited about having to do the rims too. lol

Can't say for sure about the nipples if you are using the stock rims, I only tried them on the new hoops. If you are using the stock hub and rims you could just get the smaller gauge spoke and nipples and not have to drill anything

Shop was a little backed up so still waiting for the tires to get mounted. I completely finished all the wiring and mounted the new rad. Painted the rad hose guards, look much better now. I also mounted the mirror. It got a little banged up In the crash so I sanded down the edges
Cleaned the front MC up and painted the lid. Flipped the reservoir over to the inside so it didn’t stick out so much towards the speedo, looked unbalanced before. Have to wait for the wheels to get back before I can bleed the system.

Thanks Track, I am too! It's been about 30 degrees C for the last week where I live and everyone has their bike out already. I'm itching to get this done, tested and out on the road after a very long winter.

More than just missing riding (this is my only bike and I haven't ridden since the accident), I am dying to know how all this work and changes have turned out. After all this I may hate the way she rides, which would kill me haha. Let's hope that's not the case
