So do you like it better than the Kawasaki, overall?

#1, Only ridden it about 25 miles so far :P
It's a bit rough around the edges, aesthetically, but extremely solid mechanically.
I was burbling along at 50mph, and wasn't even in the highest gear... that was a nice experience.
To be honest, I always thought the 900's exhaust note was reminiscent of a lawnmower... not this bike. Stock pipes, and it still sounds epic (yet, surprisingly, it's much quieter at idle, and when putting around at 15mph... which helps in the don't-piss-off-the-old-curmudgeony-neighbors...)
Same size gas tank, and it gets, maybe 1-2mpg worse... so that won't be a big change, thankfully.

#9, That oughtta look nice once the saddle bags are refitted. Ditching the passenger's seat for a luggage rack was a good move.

I have a new, higher-quality windshield on order (the stock, OEM one was ruined by the previous owner, scratched all to hell, and those [rather flimsy] gloveboxes are GLUED to the windshield... badly...
I think I'll just post this here for my own way of keeping track... mods I want to do in the future:
- auxiliary lightbar (haven't figured out which would look good on my bike yet)
- Avon MT Air Cushion anodized grips with throttle assist
- handlebar-mounted glovebox (no real specific one in mind)
- Viking Lamellar extra large shock cutout leather saddlebags (the stock bags, much like the stock windshield, were ruined by the previous owner [he obviously never buttoned them up, so now the flaps are rather bent out of shape], plus, these would be lockable)
- Ultimate Big Boy solo seat with backrest
I am rather annoyed that Honda put such cutrate, low-quality "touring" pieces on the bike... the OEM windshield is ridiculously small, proportionately, and super thin... the saddlebags are similarly cheap construction. I get the feeling this "Touring" model was simply a bodged-together quickie to extract some extra profit from the 1800 before Honda ended production. (the "T" was only offered from 2007-2008, the final years of the bike)

#19, Sounds like the designers moonlighted at Jaguar..... have to take the rear bumper off to do the front shocks.... that kind of stuff.
