Welcome aboard. I have the candy apple red/silver version of that. It looks like you're on the modding road already. 
One thing I would suggest adding if you don't do much more is a *** radiator guard. These bikes attract rocks like a magnet and I've read quite a few stories of owners with damaged radiators and expensive repair bills. A $70 or so *** radiator guard is cheap when compared to $400 for a new radiator, especially if it happens when you're far from home. Very easy to install (no need to remove any fairings and takes about 10 minutes) and you don't even notice that it is on there if you get the black guard.

Thanks for the advice I will have to look into that. I have never heard of the radiator problem as I am glad that it hasn't happened to me yet.
