Thanks everyone for the kind words. I will give an update after a week or two of having everything for some followup comments.

I like the mirrors and grips. Do you have forward controls? Those look like the saddleman large (?) slant bags... do you have support brackets with those? Will you be getting a new seat and sissy bar?
phone's ringing...gotta go

To answer your questions, azchick, no, I do not have forward controls. For my body size (I am 5'10 ~210 lbs), the position of the Mean Streak handlebars and controls is perfect for me. I dont think I will need forward controls.
My mirrors are the Kuryakyn Magnum Long Stem Convex mirrors. The grips are Kuryakyn ISO grips.
Yes, you are correct, those are the Saddleman large slant bags...you have a good eye!
And yes, I have the Cobra support brackets behind there. They get the job done!
I am not sure if I plan on getting a different seat. I am currently single, and dont know if I will have anyone to ride in the near future, and I am in the minority that doesnt find the stock seat uncomfortable. I've done some 4+ hour riding days and my butt has never gotten sore. Thats not to say that one day in the future I might get something, but for now, the stock seat will do.
