I've got a Hawk DLX on order from q9 and am putting together a little list of everything needed to do the assembly right. Super stoked to take over the garage and put it together, don't want to be held up by discovering I'm missing tools. Our only local hardware store is a small ACE, so even basic things can have limited availability. After extensive browsing here I think this is fairly comprehensive, but please let me know if anything is missing!

Socket and torque wrench
4-14, 17, 19, 30 mm sockets
6mm crescent wrench for spokes
Hook wrench for steering stem nut (can anyone confirm a 19-51mm adjustable wrench will fit?)
Feeler gauges
Battery tender
Waterproof grease
Loctite
Cable lube
Chain lube
15W fork oil
Brake fluid
Oil (Rotella T6 5W-40)

I plan on keeping it mostly stock while it breaks in to get a feel for it before tweaking and adding other variables. A fork brace will definitely go on sooner than later, as will a 12V outlet and/or USB power port. Down the road I have eyes on one of those 65mL oil coolers and proper damper valves.

As best I can tell this should be everything needed to get it running and rolling healthy. Obviously the CDIs will also need some carb supplies. I also opted for a couple extras like an inline fuel filter and NGK spark plug coming from the dealer. I collected some scrap pavers to stack and toss a towel over them for use as a stand. Whether an essential or something that makes the build significantly easier, is there anything else to add to this list?
