Gear,
I've only had my 2012 DF for a week or so I have limited experience with it. Had the previous model back in 2010 and sold it.
Issues so far are minor.
Lack of clearance between rear tire and tail light wiring under fender. Some don't seem to have this problem.

Valves adjustment and oil change were necessary before starting bike.

for changes to my DF.

Probably will up the jet sizes, add some saddle bags, etc.
Very easy bike to modify and maintain but you do need some DIY skills which you appear to have.
I'd go back 20 pages or so in this thread and read forward. So sense in going back to day one.
