Hi,
Nice work you have made the bike your very own.
My one worry is the vunerability of your ignition switch or more acurately the key when it is in place.

Should you ever lose control & it drops the key is toast! you then only have the kill switch to switch off for safety's sake
Might I suggest that you put a "slider " block of material just fore & aft of where the key sits to protect it.
You have a a natural eye for what you like so I do not think it would be much of a challenge to incorporate this extra bit of safety.
