Most of us here on the forum enjoy owning a great motorcycle that is very unique and that you don't see a lot of on the road. I know it makes me feel special!
I also wanted to chime in on your upgrade questions. Like Rboe, I have the Chic Design Road Comet fairing with the touring screen which does a great job with wind control and I use it all year long. I handle cooler weather with heated grips, hand guards and the right riding gear.
As for the suspension, I have found the front suspension to be pretty good, but there are several companies that offer spring replacements if you want more feel. The rear shocks need some help if you are over 200 pounds and can get pretty expensive quickly! I swapped mine to Ikon units from Australia and have been very happy. Especially with the price!
Exhaust is very subjective since you have four into four, two or one systems in chrome or black to choose from. I went with a OEM for into two Header pipes and added Over Racing mufflers. No changes to the tuning was needed and I think quite a few others here on the forum have also made exhaust system changes without tuning changes, but I'll let others comment from their experiences.
Have fun with your search for the bike and with making it into your own vision!
