It would be a nice touch if you painted the nut and washer that hold the headlight onto your trellis bracket. You could paint them black to match the headlight bucket or red to match the trellis.

+1 on headlight for sure!

i like that this combines the u-bracket and the ears. I'd be all over something like this had I not already gotten the CF ears on both the 900s, one sans u-bracket altogether

Beautiful, but why not use the passenger peg mount for the shock preload reservoir thingy?

don't know if you'd want the gas reservoir that close to the hot pipes.  could, however, be run up on the otherside of the tail - opposite the pipes, but in a similar 'under-tail' location. I can't remember what is over there on those bikes.

Nothing.  That's where I'd put it.

Plan on carbon belt covers? Nothing wrong with the standard to me, but with so much other bling on the bike it would be good to have a piece of carbon to balance with the fender. Also, how about some ceramic semigloss on that exhaust, which to me is the best looking S*R setup that exists. I'll bet it sounds killer. Is it glasspacked?
IIRC you've spent a lot on Ti fasteners to get the weight down; maybe some lighter rotors (aren't those steel carriers)?
