Here's what I've done then...

From BMW...

2006 R1200S, in black, sans ABS
Ohlins and Wide wheel
Black screen
Crash protectors (plastic)

From loads of other people...

Rizoma rearsets - the pegs on the standard bike are slippy in the wet, so I tried a set from a K1200S which were just as bad. Also have the slightly higher and a lot further back... much more comfy for a shortarse like me.

Adjustable levers - much fatter so a better feel than the originals, plus set up for 2-finger braking which is all you ever need.

R&G crash protection - the full set, front axle, swingarm and barends.

Sandbar Hugger - work of art.

MHP downpipes & Remus can - doddle to fit, makes the bottom end much less spluttery and smooths the transition to the top end. Remus isn't the best looking exhaust in the world, but I can't warrant swapping it out.

BMW Navigator II, on a ball clamp attached the LH bar.

AC blanking plugs - bling

(obligatory) small plate

and finally...

A spare pillion seat, with a Givi topbox plate bolted straight through it. 30Lt of luggage secure and waterproof in 5 seconds, marvelous.

Pictures, pictures, we need pictures!

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
