Oh, Harry! I take enough ribbing... no kickstand critters!  Here is an idea that will keep you from getting your butt kicked...http://www.whitehorsegear.com/whitehorse-gear-kickstand-foot  Fits nicely in the saddle bag. In a pinch, you can use a crushed soda can... beer can if you are a real badass!  ;)

FYI, I hate the mirrors but, Im not ready to try the handle bar end type, even though I believe the placement would be far better. With my luck, I would knock one off. Ive been looking but, I havent found anything that I like yet.

About the headlight.. I cant imagine not having it on when I ride! I loved the idea of "having" to have the light on so the bike would run. I complain everytime I see a rider without it on... hello, we are hard enough to see! I love the fact that it is oversized, as well.   Im just sayin... ;)

A vehicle-to-grid interface (or vehicle-to-home) would be killer. Even a small power inverter would make for a fantastic mobile power source, in a pinch.

Imagine a mobile Brammo trade show: a pair of 55" LCDs (200w), LED lighting (100w), a trio of demo laptops (80w), a loudspeaker setup (say 300w ave draw), and a rack of free-use cellphone / laptop chargers (say 100w ave draw). 800w ish peak draw, could be powered for a full working day by an empulse 10.0 on prominent display.

Then you walk next door to the Honda tent, where they have a rather loud gas generator chugging away in the back..
