Great looking Bike! I really like that chrome edging around the tank and fenders too. Super nice looking saddle bags and that sissy bar is pretty cool too. One thing you might want to watch is that front tool bag. I had one mounted like that on my GZ and it apparently made a lot of contact with the front fender and kinda "wore" a place in the paint that went to far to buff out. Might not be a problem for you, I weight about 210 and that may have made the difference in the travel on the front forks. Anyway, something to watch out for, I'd hate to see that beautiful paint job get messed up.
By the way, do those tassels on the handle bars mess with you? I've heard a couple of guys say they slapped the crap out of them going down the road but I've never had any so no personal experience with that.
