Oh, and I had to jump to the gas station to inflate the rear tire, because my home inflator was not powerful enough to sit the bead properly (due to non-standard size I guess). I put 32PSI in both tires (maximum for these tires is 35PSI), to compare to the (recommended) 36PSI I had on the Dunlops.
Well Honda friends, I traded in the NC. At 58k miles it was time to either sell it while it was still worth something, or keep it forever. Local dealer had a leftover '15 FJ-09 and I couldn't resist.
Thank you all for 4 years of helpful, friendly advice -- this has been the best bike specific forum I've ever been a member of. Soon I'll be posting some bits for sale -- Beowulf muffler, shop manual, and a few other things.
Ride safe!

Looks great, good job. Are you going to get a fender extender?

If you remove the valve core you'll have a better chance to seat the beads. Once the bead is set re-install the valve and inflate. (might prove useful on the road!)

I made my own radiator guard from one black wire gutter guard from Lowes. Had to bend the kinks out of it cover the entire radiator. I just wrap it around and used some zip ties. I then used most of the rest of it to cover the space between the radiator and the skid plate.... same for a rad guard. Might make one of my own as suggested by stratuner in that thread or buy a generic one if any fits.
spent $9.50, and with Loctite installed a well-made, useful bit of anodized red bling. Happy with the strength, rise and additional surface area. It'll be nice not to have to fuss over parking contour as often : }

I guess I need a tool to remove the valve core, right?

You should have one regardless in your tool kit, they're very small (& cost peanuts), and you'll find a fair number of slow leaks caused by loose valve cores.
