bike is cool for touring, nothing against the original.
I just hope that, like the original, the pictures don't do it justice.

Like some others, I don't care for the tank mount instruments - would rather have an instrument cluster higher and forward. I don't mind them being changed but just like to have them closer to my line of sight.

Also, I raelly don't like the single headlamp but would like the current lights to be changed (without the "parking lamp" inside the reflector). Perhaps they could use the turn signals as parking lights up front & include a relay for emergency flashers.

The big bags are good but think the would look better if they followed the lines of the bike ... perhaps a little rounder at the back.
