alrighty an update on my cross canada touring,

Thank you all for the advice!  i got a small clip on throttle lock for 20 bucks at a local bike shop, some forward pegs from ebay and i got lucky and found a sissy bar with a luggage rack.
this past week i took the bike from edmonton to vancover some 1100km.  and the bike held up beautifully!  
i do have some minor tweeks to make tho.
the forward pegs keep sliding down after about 3 hrs of hard riding.  i also think i may need a new chain and sprocket as i had to adjust the chain about every 700Km.  

im currently regretting not getting some sort of wind screen... my neck hurts from battling the wind.  i may have been pushing my self a little hard tho. i was doing 700-800km per day at an average of 110km/hr.

 im going to have 3 weeks before i can leave for my east coast rip so in that time im praying i can get the wind jammer installed.... i got it for 50$ but it is off a 1979 cb 750. all the mounting hardware fits but the electrical is all wrong.  so it will be a challenge to rig up.
this is what my rig looks like thus far.
