There are probably many less expensive alternative gear...
I sold my Indian and bought the BMW R18 FE and never looked back. It handles like a BMW. It is much more agile in the twisties and weighs approx 70 lbs. less. Low speed "parking lot" manuevers are about the same, but you get used to it.
The Bell Bullitt is an excellent helmet with a giant eye cut out. Not the quietest helmet, but I always wear earplugs anyway. They do run small so order up one size.
You still have to be careful with the nozzle. Push down hard to make a good vapor seal and don't go full throttle on the fuel flow. It'll click off nicely.
