I had six sets machined from 7/16 SS hex for reasonable money. Metric hex stock is very expensive and only a couple of thounsands different. If you need a dwg. I can fax it to you.

Good review, Greg. I ordered a set too, so it's nice to hear positive feedback. I'll add one suggestion (that is probably impossible to come by): Consider expanding the kit to include the four "tall-head" handlebar riser clamp bolts.

I put most of one of the loop stainless kits on a customer's Eldo last night.
Very, very nice, especially for the money charged. I buy stainless in bulk, and that would be fairly close to what I get them for, unpolished.
I think the guy who put together the kit is on this list, so here's a few comments and suggestions based on what bolts my customers like to see replaced so the bolts don't grow beards in rainy Seattle:
1) The police sidestand mount is threaded, so you do not need to provide nuts and two sets of washers.
2) Consider expanding the kit to include the socket-head cap screws for the intake manifolds and tranny back cover.
3) Consider expanding the kit to include acorn nuts and washers to clamp the rear drive to the swingarm and the tranny to the bellhousing.
4) Consider expanding the kit to include the two cap screws for the neutral-light switch.
5) Consider expanding the kit to include the axle nuts and washers
6) Consider expanding the kit to include stainless banjos for the oil lines at the cylinder heads.
