Nice Thread.
Just a quick response on visibility and lane position. I have recently, in the last 12 months or so changed my habitual lane position from left wheel track to right wheel track (closer to the fog line). After watching a video study David Peterson (Best Rest Products) did, I was able to see the enhanced conspicuity of pushing that bike further right, not to mention the increased degree of reaction time and maneuver space gained from oncoming traffic crossing the center line usually due to texting or fixation.
I also have clear-water yellow covers over my darlas that I run in the daylight to enhance that oncoming visual footprint.
Here is an article I recently wrote for the Army Safety Center as a motorcycle mentor. It touched on some of the points made in this thread.
