like it, i went 15mm on mine but that looks good too. how have you found the handling? i foudn that the initial turn in feel has gone slightly but the overall grip has improved.

all done, problem sorted, new bearings pressed in. spacers fitted, wouldnt think those flimsy looking plastic things do much but hey ho. 175Nm on the hub nut and its all done. drives fine, no more noise.
