Only mods I have done are the seat, YSS shocks, and the newest is the box.

Apologies for the late response! It’s one of these:

Got this bike a week ago. Thrilled with it. Most of the accessories came from beezdeals. I'm located in NY and was able to get a Christmas Eve ride in yesterday.

Can you give me info on the spare fuel tank situation ? Looks very slick the way you installed it !
I appreciate that. I believe it was the MotoSkill side rack with the Rotopax mount and 1 gallon tank. The pre-existing holes on the rack do line up with the Rotopax mount but the tank didn't sit where I wanted it to on the bike horizontal. I ended up using 2 predrilled holes to get the mount where I wanted it and just drilled 2 more holes. It really was pretty simple. I like it how it sits because I can fill the tank at the pump without removing the rotopax. Good luck!

This is super helpful. I just purchased tank and racks for both sides of rear with one side for tank and other for an anticipated dry bag panier( still scouting that item).I currently have muffler guard please let me know what exact tires you are running. I just a sent a pair of IRC GP 5 (3.00 x17. 45P) front/rear to my brother for his 2023 green machine. I live in Western, NY and spending time in dozens of WMAs and heading to NEBDR this mid July and want to get set up well before then.
I'm in Ulster County NY. I'm running Shinko 244's 2.50 front and 3.00 rear. I'm pretty sure you can go up to a 2.75 front without moving the front fender up. I'm happy with what I chose. The only problem I've seen so far is because I upped the size of the tires, the kick stand makes the bike lean a little too aggressively. With some added weight in accessories it occasional seems like it wants to tip. The center stand always feels great. I added a 3/4" thick riser to the kick stand and that seemed to fix my problem. So just be cautious of that. The pictures you saw above were taken before I added the riser so it's still usable stock, just be careful on certain terrain.

I would not have thought to anticipate kickstand issue so thanks for that pearl of info. I have a larger cleat on stand already but likely not enough. I am going to run 2.75 Shinko 241 front and 3.0 rear. My brother going to try GP5 3.0 front and rear on his 2023. We’ll compare on multiple categories of handling and traction when we get out to Asheville this April and NEBDR this July!
