Looks better off.

It sure does.
Here in Switzerland the bolt is always being sold with the passenger set.
But since i don`t need it... 

I believe EVERYONE other then the US got them standard.

... the pillion seat was the first thing that came off.

I've left the pegs on though, handy for hanging helmet on and strapping luggage.

Exactly what i did, too. If necessary, the passenger seat bolts on (hahaha...  ) in 5 minutes.

...I end up walking out with something...

...isn`t that the main reason to visit him for a chat? 
Finally, after 5 weeks of waiting, the new shocks have arrived and had to be installed immediately.
Now the fork is 40 mm (1.57") and the shocks are 30 mm (1.18") over for better cornering clearence:

Bolter what shocks are those?

Wow that's a hell of a fender gap! If i wanted cornering performance i would've bought a sportbike. Just my opinion.

The fender gap is not forever, the rear fender is going to be modified.
I did not want a sportbike, i wanted a beautiful bike. Still, corners are fun. 

Bolter what shocks are those?

Bolter mor info is needed, please.

The fork extension are pretty similar like those on the fork extension thread, but i have them made here in Switzerland. The gaitors seem a little short now...
The shocks are from Hagon, custom made for a heavier rider. I`m around 200 lbs with riding gear and the stock shocks seem a little squashy to me, so i ordered shocks for a 240 lbs rider.

P.S. Forgot to say: The shocks have three positions for spring preload and costed 500,-€ a pair including mods for weight and lenght. Now they`re on pos. 2 and work great.
