Sorry, I didn't see this.
Label the hubs on each side of the wheel 1-8
Set your torque wrench to 53.1in/lbs or 6nm
Star pattern to tighten spokes while checking for cracks. A 5mm hex ball socket works best for getting easier angles. Should keep your wheel true. You can also do the old trail trick of applying small zipties where the spokes intersect, so if you do ever have one come off entirely, it potentially won't be lost.
1, 5, 3, 7, 2, 6, 4, 8 is your tightening sequence.
What did you do to change to LED markers?

Done about 300 miles on the FS oil now. I do think that the gearbox seems a bit slicker, other than that, just the same as Semi Synthetic.

I replaced the stock bars today with a different bend and nearly 3 inches narrower. Initial feel is very positive. Even just pushing it around my shop feels better. I've found the stock bars to have an uncomfortable hand placement and I've always felt they were far too wide. I feel that I have too much leverage at times and have to concentrate to be extremely gentle with steering input. I cannot wait to go for a ride to confirm.
Curious to know your feedback on how that Omni-Cruise works after you have used it on a few rides....
Replaced leaky seal in the front of the final drive.
Thanks to Steve for the help and tools. Rode some class B dirt and gravel home to powder check for any more leaks.

Final Drive Front Seal and O-ring Replacement
First - thanks to @eemsreno for special tools, shop, and assistance in doing this job. If your whole rear wheel looks like this from oil weeping from the bottom of the swing arm it is most likely a bad seal and/or O-ring in the front of the final drive. It was a slow leak. I needed to add a...

Made some floorboards for my wife using 1/4” aluminum plates and rubber tread off of some cheap amazon floorboards. Spray painted them with bed liner. Happy wife now.
Those look great.

4 screws to take off the headlight shroud. 4 10mm head bolts to loosen the headlight bucket. Pull the bucket forward to get to the bulb sockets. Old builds out #194 LED bulbs in. Easy peasy.
I did something like that as well. I normally put in yellow markers but only had green ones so put them in. Looks quite good

I've just changed my first ever upside down fork seal. The seal bit was easyish, getting the fork back in the yoke was the hard bit.
I love that tire! Only reason I even thought to take it off was to put on the Tractionator GPS so I could go to the top of Alaska and back taking the long way home. You will be very pleased with it.
