That was a great read.
There are one or two minor things I would disagree with you on, but we are all different, and I suspect if they weren't on the bike when you got it, you wouldn't have purchased them anyway - so not really in disagreement.
I've always thought the headlight subframe is a weak spot (which is why my lamp brackets fit to the main frame), but to date I've only seen two people who have had it fail, and both in extreme circumstances.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together, it's well written and well presented.
