I was thinking about that as a project that would be too big to undertake any time soon. Now you may have cost me lot of hours and cash, since this seems just right and very much possible... So... Thanks, I guess?

A little bit of back log here, starting at this point: I first rode the bike about four weeks ago, and could hardly think about anything else, my only real complaint was the buffeting from the stock screen that made me unable to hear the engine. Four days later, it was time to deliver it for the 1000 km initial service, and while it was there they added the large OEM top box (great product, nice to have the same key for ignition and luggage, and to be able to quickly remove it when I want to ride without or take the whole thing up to my hotel room). They also attached this bad boy. Yes, those are open Akrapovic pipes. Now I could hear the engine again over the wind induced noise, but ear plugs are absolutely necessary. Also, I tend to leave a trail of annoyed car alarms. After that I mounted white Dzell knuckle guard lights with blinker modules (but still have not got the right connectors so no light yet...) and a Puig racing screen. The turbulence now hits my shoulders (I'm 193, that's 6'4 for the metrically challenged), and it's quiet again. Since I will be doing more city riding and I will be able to hear the engine again, I guess it makes sense for me to insert the muffler... Now I am thinking about the following: Light and appearance [ul type=disc][*]OEM LED Flashers Plus Front or Custom LED Universal LED Flushmount Blinker [*]Custom LED BlasterX tail light[*]Powerbronze tail tidy, removing rear blinkers, I guess. (The alternative is the OEM rear blinkers with running and break lights, but not sure if it will look good or just stupid.) [*] The poser in me also wants this but in all black or the bike's grey, backlit when ignition is on and engine is off: YAMAHA MT09 TRACER FRONT WINDSCREEN BRACKET [/ul] Protection [ul type=disc][*]OEM Engine protectors[*]Powerbronze Belly Pan[*]A radiator cover, not decided which yet[/ul] Comfort[ul type=disc][*]OEM Heated Grips, ordered, should be on the bike in a couple of weeks [*]OEM Passenger Backrest, same[*]More screens for various conditions... thinking about the short Powerbronze screen (I like the look) plus a really large touring screen [*]A seat, a seat, my kingdom for a seat (that doesn't make me unable to walk after a couple of days of hard riding). But I have no clue which, most of them seem to lower the seat height, which for me is not a good idea. [/ul] Other [ul type=disc][*]The Garmin VIRB XE is arriving today... so more adventure documentation! [*]I assume I will be tempted to add more silly stuff [*]Maybe a horn, but I want to be able to both beep and BOOOOOOOOOOP, so it will have a separate button.[*]Fog lights?
