Welcome to the fourm. Congrats on your new ride. I hope you'll enjoy your new bike. I just picked one up about a week ago. Besides what year/color you got, maybe put where you leave. It seems like a lot of riders from all over here.
I agree with you about the gearing change. I ordered the 16T front and I'll see how it goes. I keep looking for a 7th gear at cruise. They could have geared 6 as and OD gear but they didn't. I'd take a larger fuel tank as well.
Enjoy your new ride. There is a lot to like about it and not a lot to so far for me to dislike. I normally put on about 50-80k miles a year on bikes. I pretty quickly find what i do and don't like pretty quickly as my commute to work is about 1000-1700 miles on the weekend.. A lot depends on which family member I go to visit on the weekend and if I ride the "fun road" or not. So I put in a lot of seat time in short order.
There are a lot of subtle tweaks you can to make a good bike even better. Since I spend so much time at high speed cruising, I am swapping out the windscreen for something with more protection. I ride in a variety of conditions and would definitely like better protection. All in all its been a great bike and I'm sure you'll enjoy it the more you ride.
If isn't quite right for you, there are a lot of threads here with ideas of what you can do to improve it. If you don't see what you are looking for, you can always ask. People seem to be relatively friendly here.
