The cartridges arrived on Monday.
There's an unexpected surprise in the procedure provided: using a lathe to remove the reduction bushing of the stock tubes. I emailed David at Fast Bike about it. He gently reminded me that he offers free installation of these, but assured me that it's a really easy step that can be done with a hand held Dremel.
He also gave me his cell number in case I have questions. I plan to get started Saturday morning. Hopefully I'll be road testing by lunch time.

I think I remember seeing the same procedure (or similar at least) on motorcyclemetal.com's website for the ohlins cartridge installation.
Its a shame the installation instructions on their website (Adreani) doesn't mention the machining need...
