Not familiar with the options for cruisers but these look good. You want something that is detachable easily. If you intend to ride in the wet, maybe something that is waterproof would be good.
Stick with the full face helmet. While you won't look as cool, your chin will fare better if you ever do come off.
RAM mounts are the best in my opinion for mounting cellphones and other devices. The flexibility of mounting options and the various holders are just awesome. I've ridden some seriously bumpy roads with the X grab thingy and my iPhone 6s plus and it never looked like it was going to shake loose. There are a multitude of options.
Windscreens are a double edged sword. They definitely reduce fatigue but they also reduce airflow, and on a hot day can make it too warm. Suggest getting one that doesn't completely cut off the airflow at 70mph. Just a little air hitting your helmet is good.
Would suggest adding a USB adapter/SAE charging plug. Hook up directly to the battery, so you can use a trickle charger when the bike is not being ridden for more than a few days. Nothing worse than coming to a bike with a flat battery :-(
I have a battery tender on my Miata which I barely drove after our son was born. After sitting for something like 3 months it was dead, but letting the tender do its thing overnight, the car fired up no issue the next day.
I just leave it plugged in all the time now as there’s overcharge protection, etc. so no problem with that. The eyelet connectors and quick release harness are cool. Just install the eyelets behind the terminal nuts and the wiring is always there to hook up, no need to use the alligator clips every time.
FWIW, this is the model I have- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJ5KEEA/

This is the one you can get at HD dealerships or cyclegear. I think you can find on amazon. Checking...

It is cheaper on amazon. It's deltran 1.25 amps. It is a charger and a maintainer. Seems to work well.
I have it positioned so I can see the light when I open the garage door.
It can be also used on cars.
