It is the opposite around here. A couple cages have pulled out in front of me, but that sometimes happens even when I am driving my cage, they just aren't looking/paying attention. It has not happened since I started always using my brights during daylight. On my longer rides I will pull over two or three times to take breaks. In every case, cages have pulled over to see if there was a problem. I always thank them for stopping. If I stop to get gas or a snack, there are always some cage drivers that compliment my bike. I have never had anyone flip me off, cut in after passing, or anything like that. My Shadow is larger than a GZ, but I don't think that has anything to so with it.
The fact that there are a LOT of motorcyclists in this area, and Texas is really pushing motorists to 'share the road' with motorcyles with TV ads and road signs might have something to do with it. Also, a well known and respected county judge was recently killed on his motorcycle. It was big news, and I think it woke some people up to the fact that bikers are people too!
