I've got some actual free time and 3 projects for my s2r800 almost ready for this upcoming long weekend and I want to make sure I'm fully prepared... any thoughts on the stuff below?  Thanks!

Install full Arrow system
Evaporative canister removal
Install Frame Sliders

I've got the standard tools, sockets, wrenches, drivers, etc... medium loctite, moly grease...  What else do I definitely need?  What might I need?  What did I forget?

Arrows:
High temp RTV Sealant?
New OEM Exhaust gasket?
new locking nuts for headers?
spring puller tool, high temp loctite (included?)

Canister:
vacuum caps? size? or M5 short bolts

Sliders:
deadblow hammer?

I would reccommend the high temp gasket maker stuff, definitely a dead blow hammer for the frame sliders, I used new oem head gaskets when I installed my exhaust, but you will find guys here that did not.  A needle nose plier works very well for the springs for the new exhaust, new locking nuts for the headers are like the head gaskets...guys here are in 2 camps, some have reused 'em and some have put new ones on.

Arrows:
High temp RTV Sealant?                                  Can't hurt
New OEM Exhaust gasket?                               I would
new locking nuts for headers?                          Yes        
spring puller tool, high temp loctite (included?)    No idea

Canister:
vacuum caps? size? or M5 short bolts                 Your choice

Sliders:
deadblow hammer?                                          NO, support and line up, if needed, the engine with a jack.  Tap the old bolt out with the rod from the slider.  If the slider does not go through easy, the engine and frame are not in line

Only thing I can add that they haven't hit is on the spring puller.  An easy sub for a real puller is a length of 12 or 14 guage wire if you have it laying around.  You just make a loop the wire around the spring and double over the excess in passes that are as wide as your hand - and ta-dah you've got a puller.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

Very minor,  but adding some tie-wraps to your list for re-routing your fuel tank vent hoses will help.

Also, a Y connector comes in handy if you want to cut down on the length of hoses used. It will give you a cleaner look.
