Sounds great! Helpful tip though, for YouTube recording; From now on, hold your phone sideways for recording. It will give you a full screen then. Found out after a few times.

Trick I was taught was start you bike before the fuel pump finished priming. I put the 48s in a 2007 Dyna and it would hesitate like that when I waited for the fuel pump. When I started the bike before it was done it always fired up without a hiccup. Give it a try.
