Just to address the elephant in the room, the base of the mounts in question (bolt bosses) are 8mm or 5/16 thick. The quality of the aluminum is probably the only concern. I appears to be of high tensile strength and is well executed in design. This obviously is not the manufactures first rodeo as he is offering some pretty sophisticated set ups for other bikes.
I firmly believe that a large part of the improvement I feel during initial riding is better alignment of parts and the fact that everything went together like a well designed part should. No "shimming" or grinding or tweaking necessary, outside of the need to compensate for my increased rotor diameter. That goes a long way to boosting my confidence in the product.
SISF once said they called him the lawnmower man because of his thinking outside the box. Not everyone thought the C10 needed any improvement in handling, but thank the good lord someone did and went to the trouble of fitting 17" wheels. Nobody influenced me to try this other than my own curiosity, nobody is saying this is the new black. I like it. It works well. And it appears to work better than my home made concoction. It is certainly more uniform. I think I will continue to enjoy it, I will certainly report any faults I may find with it and any constructive criticism is certainly welcome. Again, that is how we all learn, by sharing our findings through this forum.
