I wonder if you have added some stress to the exhaust flange and engine. You may have created a potential problem.
A second thought for you. Not a biggy but a future little problem. You used SAE fasteners etc. I always used Metric hardware to keep the bike entirely Metric for future servicing and maintenance issues. If the SAE stuff comes loose while on the road somewhere you will be banging the side of your head with a wrench.
Looking forward to your luggage thread.
