The last bit was the installation of the bump rubbers. A straightforward job except for wrong dimensions in the GTM drawing (I think). It states that the centerline of the bracket must be 60mm from the edge of the shock absorber cavity. This places it too much forward, I suppose the rubber has to hit the flat "elbow" part of the arm and not halfway the arm.
I cut the original metal bracket from the rubber including a metal bush in the top of the rubber. This decreases the height of the rubber with 1cm, but that's no problem. I will catch the arm long before the shock absorber bottoms out.
