Glad you like it, Vince. Yes, the mudguard was painted by Steve at Image Design Custom based on the M1200.
I don't get to ride it as much as I'd like so it's only done 9,000 miles.
I don't know if you've ridden an Evo, but low speed town work feels much rougher than your S. Part of that is down to the restrictive emissions stuff, but I think most of it is down to the lighter flywheel.
The heavier S flywheel helps to smooth out the low-speed power pulses and gives the chain an easier time too as you notice a lot less chain slap. Also, engine braking is a lot less fierce if you shut off suddenly. In theory, it will blunt the acceleration a little but, as I'm running lower gearing than standard, I've not noticed any loss of oomph. More details here
