Well, here's what she looks like without the side covers. The instructions with the OEM light bar show how to take them off. Sort of a pain, but I'll get used to it. Lots of those little plastic push-button clips, so I may be hitting up the dealership for a bag of extra ones since I know I'll break some in the near future.

Pics taken while in the process of installing the center-stand and light bar.

They can be re-used many times if you are careful. Push the center to release, then to re-install, push the center post out before installing it and push the center back down to flush to lock it. If you do break one, I found that the Yamaha style fits too. I like the Yamaha style better so I tried one. I haven't broken a Honda one yet, but I will keep trying.
 
Okay, Here's the whole Light Bar install instructions, except the template sheet which I used to cut out the piece of plastic for the under-cowl panel.

Btw, if someone knows how I can post these pics in full size, lemme know.

I really could have used this a few days ago. When I put it all back together I had parts leftover...had to remove and re-install again to get it right.
 
The Honda Service Manual has all this info and much more. I believe everyone should have one.

yeah, problem is my dealer can't order it right now. Either not available or back-ordered. Otherwise, I'll get one eventually. I have a service manual for EVERY vehicle I own.

Helm doesn't have them on their web site yet, but you can call them and order it...
