Picked up my new Nomad 1700

I'm new to this sight. I stumbled upon it while searching for Nomad 1700 related stuff. I recently sold my '02 Nomad FI and just purchased a '09 Nomad 1700 which I picked up yesterday (red/beige). Rode about 150 miles on it yesterday and I am really enjoying it so far. Since I'm going through the break in I haven't pushed it to hard. But I really like the bike, and especially the seat.

But I do have a couple of questions.

1. I get a pretty loud clunk when shifting gears. Doesn't feel like anything is wrong. Just louder then I expected. Is this normal?

2. I get what sounds like a little gear whine from roughly 25MPH to 45MPH. Is this normal? Part of the bikes break in?

3. Are there any accessories out for this thing yet? My dealer had nothing. Not even anything in a Kawasaki accessory catalog. I was hoping to get a light bar to start.

Anyway, so far I'm really happy with it.
