Hopefully also rear YA537 shock will arrive today. I have yet to decide about fitting stabilizer.

Definitely get your suspension sorted out first.  Your shock should have a ride height adjustment, raising the rear a few millimeters along with lowering the front (raising the forks in the clamps) really made a noticeable difference in stability and handling on my bike. 

Once it is setup correctly, chances are you wont need a steering stabilizer.  That's $450 you could otherwise spend on tires or gas and beer on a summer road trip! (beer after the ride of course). 👍

I intend to set it up according to Öhlins recommended settings.

Öhlins manuals say front sag 30-40mm, rear 25-35mm with rider. So I'll do that.

With stock suspension I had front at 42mm and rear at 38mm and front preload was all the way in to the max because original springs aren't correct for this bike.

I liked this article for setting up your forks @krucymucy. I thought it was a more pragmatic approach than just setting some figures from a manufacturer.
