One recomendation, if you like the blue, clean your rear wheel often. It takes on a smoked darker color from the exhaust if you don't.
And be prepared for a BIG mess on your first (and any) oil change. Easiest way is to put it on a rear stand before you pull the drain plugs and filter. You WILL get oil on the kickstand and the exhaust.
As for rear stands, there are a few ways you can do it, shoot me a PM if you are interested.

As for the intakes and Darth Vader... yeah, that's how mine got it's nickname.

I make a little funnel/tunnel type gimmick out of foil when changing oil to minimize spill on to exhaust.
