Experts have 165mm SiSL2 crank arms in stock but not the BB:
http://www.cannondaleexperts.com/Cannondale-BB30-SiSL2-Bottom-Bracket-Set-68mm-Shell-Set-Complete--QC690-2015_p_4275.htmlI can get the cheaper Si arms in 165mm from Canada. Maybe I should get them?

If you have to have 165mm arms then get them from anywhere you can find them because the mothership either doesn't have any or is not making enough to get many in to retail.
If price is a consideration then the difference between Si Hollowforged and SiSL2 is a few grams and a bit of lazer etching

You only really need the axle out of all of that lot - bearings, covers, wavey washers and spacers are all interchangable from other BB kits.
And you only need the axle if it turns out your chainstays are too wide to run the Si arms with the 104mm axle you have.
Qwerty seems to have the complete BB kit though. UK seller and nice guys.

Original BB30 crank, 144m Q:
Si [200i, silver, discontinued]
SiSL [2007, black, discontinued]
New BB30/a crank 144mm Q (or 147mm if you believe a Cannondale doc, but I don't.)
SiSL2 [2013, black 109mm axle]
Si hollowforged [2013, black, hollow, 109mm axle]
Si forged [2016, black, forged non-hollow, 109mm axle]
I'd just grab any 165mm variation you can find. If it has to be 165mm. All your acquisition problems will go away if you go 170mm. Technically the Hollowforged Si crank will be the cheapest at retail, because I don't believe you can buy the Si forged crank at retail or as spare parts yet. And it's fugly.
Yes, but 165mm seems to be the issue and I got a cryptic message from UK along the lines of '165mm? no because we can't be bothered'.
