The rear shock can be tricky but still accessible to turn the rebound adjuster screw. It also is good for bleeding the fork screws if you don't have the quick-bleeder valves.

Moto7man, I always paint mark my bolts/nuts. It provides a quick visual to see if any has loosened. Plus, when I disassemble and re-torque the bolts/nuts, typically my torque wrench is clicking off very close to the previous mark as a double-check for me.
Very impressive preparation, thanks for sharing the information!
