I like the color. Looks like you have a 2nd Gen seat. Mine came with a Corbin and I bought a stock seat, 2G, and it has the "gap". Just the right mods, exhaust and the jet kit. For tire size, go 120/70 up front and 160/60 on the rear. What type of riding you do determines what type of tire. Racing around town? Go sticky. If you get out for longer rides and will spend time on the hiways, go with a sport touring model. Have fun, BTW, if the suspension is stock I'd at least change out the fork oil.
