As for the wind buffeting that we all read so much about- I agree...under 65 MPH, I did not see it as an issue.....70 to 90 MPH it was an issue.....since I will be generally traveling at 70 to 90 MPH I am going to opt for the Klock Werks 6.5" windscreen in the near future.
I love mine!
I think 40-50 psi is the standard range of most riders.
Book early! We saw tons of bikes when we were there.
According to the 2011 SG manual you should be running 10-20 psi in your rear shocks when riding solo.
Like was said before, make sure you get a good shock pump. I've got the HD one and it works great.
Have fun out there and I might see you on the road neighbor.

Congrats on the new ride! I would check the air pressure in the shocks right away. I've never had any of my buddys have a problem right off the show room floor, but mine rode like crap until I checked it and they were empty. I took it back to the dealer later and had them fill them since I didn't have a shock pump yet. Not complaining b/c things happen, but just thought i'd give you a tip if you are not happy with the way the rear feels.
Check out the Fast Aire Aero shields, too. They have the popular "flip" design, are made of polycarbonate and are available in sizes.

Get a Harley air pump; otherwise, you'll blow the innards out of those shocks.

Me, too.
This is a trip I hope to make sometime. The wife and I took the cage down last summer and stayed in Asheville, scoping out the area for posrt retirement living. It's absolutely beautiful country down there!

If you have time, ride to Franklin, Cashiers, and Highlands via hwy 64. It's a beautiful ride. I love living in upstate SC b/c of the mountain roads to ride here and in western NC.
