Schwartzkm,
Congratulations on your new CB! Everyone is correct about the chain maintenance. Just need a 32mm and 27mm wrench (a 1 & 1/16th SAE will work in place of the 27mm). Kerosene or a good chain clearner and decent lube. Ten minutes to adjust slack, clean and lube.
Sounds like you've done your research on rear racks. Have you found a back rest pad that will fit across the "grab bar" on these racks? Another alternative is the Honda rear carrier and a Jardine back rest.
