Looking very nice. I must be honest and say I personally am not fond of the tail but that's a "me" problem. Clip-ons are nicely done as well. Though you may want to check on how far you've dropped the forks in the clamps. That much may make her kind of twitchy at speed. I only say this from experience. I ended up about a half inch or less drop in front and 1" over in the rear and it was a little much on my last cafe. Put the forks back to about 1/8" and kept the one inch over stock length in back and it felt very nice. Responsive, but not unruly.

yes, yes, and more yes... im loving the handlebars and the paint on the wheels, motor, and body panels/tank... the only thing im not a fan of is the rear seat cowling, it doesnt seem to go with the rest of the bike, thats just my opinion though... check out "VonZeti" cafe seats, i think they would look great on your bike. Overall, it gets two big thumbs up from me! :clap:
heres a link to my favorite cafe styled seat if your interested. its exactly what i got for my 450... theres a bunch of other pictures of them on actual bikes if you wanna google it.

Last time I was at the powdercoater's place he showed me a sample of that almost chrome. It looked great. I didn't think of using it on a tank but it looks really good. Any orange peel?
I used texture black on my Harley's tanks and was thinking of doing the same on my GS1100G but the petrol does stain it a little. Maybe a clear coat over the powder could be a good idea? I know that they do a powder clear over the silver for almost chrome but I wonder if it's petrol-proof?
