I made a few changes since I last posted in this thread.
A while back I made a custom Garmin Varia mount out of a sheet of HDPE that attaches to the SKS rack. I sized it for the RTL510 but the RV820 looks pretty good on it.
I also changed the saddle to one my fitter recommended, a Selle Italia SLR Superflow Boost, 143mm. I found one in great condition with Ti rails that we pulled from an eBay bike before sale. $100. It's the most comfortable saddle I've ridden on any bike in a while. A keeper.
Finally, based on @Jeremy McCreary's advice, I decided to change grips from the moto grips that came with the bike, to Ergon GP1 BioKork. I need to rotate them back a bit, but they stopped my wrist pain as they effectively increase the sweep. The cork is a bit sticky, but I always wear gloves when I ride, and they do not stick to them. They also absorb road vibrations really well. I bought them direct from Ergon on sale. They came super quick. The cork looks nice next to the brown frame.
