next up was removing the curb feelers from the footpegs *Note the size of the side stand pad behind the peg...are the 13's that large? It looks like a ducks foot!

next up was addressing the inadequacies in the tool kit with enough tools to adjust the rear shock and adjust the chain out on the road along with a spare fuse for my battery tender jr, a shop towel and some rubber gloves

I put some sticky backed felt under on the top tree to protect it from a dangling key

Have several things yet to do that I can think of, putting some 3M clear on the tank in spots which may get scuffed by my jacket or tank bag, install the Kaw W 650 fork gaiters which aren't in yet, and putting on my battery tender pigtail which I will get to this coming week. Oh and installing the brackets for the NC Street Shield EX for when I take trips, but that might not happen until closer to fall.

Coming along nicely though
