Gonna go against the grain here. First, I can dig the work you've done, I like it but for one thing, and that one thing ruins the bike, IMO. That one thing is the saddle bracket. I know you bought it ready made, but I think it is the most mickey mouse thing I've ever seen on a nice bike. It is WAY oversized, and it just hangs out in space over the frame, looking ridiculous. It also puts the saddle way too high on the bike, and since you're riding with rear shocks, you don't need those saddle springs anyway. It just takes everything away from the otherwise great looking bike.
How to remedy this? There are a lot of guys here who have their saddles resting on rubber bumpers screwed right into the frame (I'm one of them). You can buy a custom saddle bracket from www.kundratickustoms.com that will use your aft tank mount. This puts the saddle almost right up on the frame, looking very slick. I like your bike, but you asked for comments good or bad, just trying to help!
Here are linked a couple of pics of my saddle setup for reference. https://i.imgur.com/ulMyG.jpg

Schwing, I agree about the seat...I think you makea good point that with the seat lowered down to the mounts it will stick out much less and flow better.
Besides that I think the bike looks GREAT and WAY nicer than it started out.
I think I would change those silver covers to black and get a black surround headlight...love the direction you went in with this...back fender looks rad.

That argument doesn't hold water. Mine is there, too.
