I have over 850 miles on the Metzeler Tourance Next tires, 550 when I did Americade and around 300 on my weekend rides. It's a really great tire on road, on some dirt, and on wet roads.
I took it down to my twisty spot and I was able to ride aggressively and no slip on corners even when I use my rear brakes. My problem now is the rear stock suspensions are bouncy even after adjustment. Ordered my Ohlins, can't wait.
Sorry I guess it's kinda hard to see the huge scratch down part of the front pipe... I circled it for you and attached another pic now that I have the front slip on off for repairs and replacement of the TTI.
After my thousand miles trip to Sturgis77. I realized that wind is the enemy. Anything over 80 mph and winds gets really aggressive. Never liked any windshield or any full fairing.
Bought a Krator quarter fairing. Very cheap price $45 and the material is solid. I mounted this "Ventura Style" which was a bitch. I had to fabricate brackets but after a lot of work, I installed it the way I want it. Very solid on 85+ mph, and since it's seats high, blocks a lot of wind. Since then, I can stay 85+ mph on the freeway no problem.
New Fairing mounted.

Looks awesome!
Would you be able to comment on how much the tinted window over the headlight affected the lights brightness?
Was it significant or not much in your opinion?
Thanks again!
