Points noted! :-) I'm 6'2" myself, about 120KG. Wide chest and a big head!....lol
Discussing this with other riders, I am leaning towards a Zero Gravity Double Bubble Smoke Sceen (Instead of the Dark Tint) for my Black bike.

I was concerned about the LCD display, so thanks for verifying that Fred. With large colour LCD, I dont see dark tints being an issue on other bikes.
Your Dark Tint compliments your green really well! Love it!....lol But On a black bike, I think the smoke would suit more.

Did you buy your screen locally or O/S?

PS....Just done 100KMs on it. Im currently revving it to about 4000 rpm. Various loads, and acceleration styles.

After I fill her up with the first tank of petrol, I will go harder to about 6000 rpm

Do you think I should go harder?

O/Seas for most of my accessories unfortunately, because I am so sick of being ripped off. (Dons flame proof suit) I would change the oil & filter with a mineral based oil (do not use synthetic yet) you will be surprised at the oil that is in there.
Then go & give it heaps, do not sit on any particular revs keep changing. Go & find some hills, with twisties so the load changes & your up & down the g/box. This is also good when you go down hills & back off as it sucks the oil up around the rings, keep an eye on temps, try not to sit stationary in traffic for two long, as these things get hot quickly.

Thanks for the tips! I have noticed that it gets hot very quickly. After 15min of riding, the engine temp is about 100-103 :-( The fan keeps blaring away after I turn off the engine

While its running in it will run warmer.
But big engines with lots of HP will always generate alot of heat.
Run it in hard. They love it
