I’m looking for some Ohlins myself. Where did you buy them? I’m in Ontario and any time I have ordered parts from the States they get held up at the border until I pay a bunch of taxes, duties, brokerage fees, etc. I am having a tough time finding a Canadian distributor that isn’t automotive based and actually knows about bike suspension.

You could certainly do that but if you don’t claim the purchase at the border, and get caught, you could lose them. We can get away with $800 CDN in purchases duty free if we're across for over 48 hours I believe.
I have been asked several times when crossing back to Canada if I’ve done any work to the bike while in the US.

they come with a way to hide those cans between the bags and rear wheel.....grats on a getting what is arguably one of the best suspensions you can put on a motorcycle
they aren't bloody boogers or anything, but those cans should be hidden....imho

I agree. The shock reservoirs need to be relocated, IMO.
