Thanks to all for the great comments I definitely enjoyed working on it so much I may do all over again next winter.

I installed a HID headlight and have not had a chance to aim it down the road correctly thats why the cover is off.

Thanks for the tip on the rear floorboards I have the mustang seat with the removable rear touring seat since I let the wife ride with me once in a while. But loving riding solo and trying to get her into her own but so far no luck.

I decided on the plain fairing because I really like just hearing the engine and the surrounding sounds. I also love how it does not make the front end feel and heavier.
The bags and fender add on is from Milwaukee Bagger and very happy with the product would do business with again. I live an 1 1/2 hours from Milwaukee Baggers so I drove up to see all the options and Nick was very patient answering my millions of questions and letting me take my time looking around. No pressure sales there.
