Hello!

Having recently bought my first motorcycle, I have many questions, and any answer would be greatly appreciated.

1. What are sissy bars?
2. My wife says the stock seat is uncomfortable for her. How much does a good third-party stock seat run for a motorcycle like this? We are both 21, so we wouldn't want anything that looks like Goldwing stuff.
3. Are Xenon headlights (light bulbs) available on cruisers? Is it simply removing the bulb or is there a whole kit involved?
4. Should I get greedy and upgrade my stock exhaust or does it really sound fine and I shouldn't need to upgrade at all?
5. Is it completely normal, when making turns, for those foot pegs, which are spring-loaded, to pop up? Or does this mean I am making too sharp of turns? Basically, everytime they hit the ground and spring up, should I be concerned?
6. When cleaning a motorcycle, should I clean all units (i.e., chrome, metal, spokes, etc) all separately, or just throw some soap on it and start going after it?

Sorry for the loaded questions! THANK YOU! i love my bike!!
