Spring is here in CT & so is Christmas!

So just came from the dealer and played dumb showing him my picture and dumping the 4 items out on his desk. He scratched his head and said that sucks! He called the parts guy and told him to order me the complete set - free of charge! He also ordered me a new key blank at a discount.
Moving right along!
Back to the center stand rubber bumper stop . . . I realized that the plate they sent me wants to orientate itself in a certain position and will lock to that top position. I was trying to lower it so the slim rubber would not hit the chain. I surrendered and circled back from behind and decide to add a larger rubber bumper! So here is a comparison to what I had and what I made myself.

Here are the parts I bought at my local hardware store to do this . . .

Here is how it looks installed with the bike on its center stand . . .

This job is done!
The only outstanding modification left is the front turn signals and since it is raining today through Friday I will begin this. Hopefully the weather will break over the weekend and I can get the bike out for the first ride and break in period.
