I figured I would start a thread to keep track of what I have done to the bike since I bought it. I got it in June 2014 with just over 3k miles. It was bone stock:

First thing I did was make my own license plate bracket:

Then, I tried some adhesive rubber tank knee pads. I ended up not liking how they looked. This is just too pretty of a tank to have those. I may try some magnetic pads that I can remove when I don't want them on:

I love the naked looks, but no wind protection was killing the enjoyment of riding at highway speeds. The Dart Flyscreen did the trick:

With the small screen on, I wanted to tuck in just a bit lower. Also, I felt the tall bars and mirror were a little awkward aesthetically. So, I got a set of Type 2 bars and some lower profile mirrors (Bikemasters):

I needed to carry some stuff and settled upon a single left side saddlebag. I found one on japan.webike.net which had a relief for a blinker and ordered it along with an Agras fork brace. I also tried some different mirrors since the ones I bought were too narrow. The new mirrors are Bikemaster Old School Tube mirrors:

My K&H seat I ordered at the end of November should be here before Christmas. I am quite anxious to receive it and will post pics. I also will have some Chic Designs hand guards and Moriwaki skid pads on the way shortly.
