Oh the horror of owning a new bike.... My life is not complete. Until of course I Farkle  the crap out of my bike. The list......so far......
 
1.   GIVI Windsheild (Nice!)
2.   Fenda-Extenda
3.   Ram ball mounts (two of them)
4.   Old school GPS (2160 on one of the ram ball mounts)
5.   Tankslapper 3M film
6.   Cheapie 10W DRL and mounts
7.   GIVI case guards. (Nice!)
8.   EBay cheapie rubber mounted front pegs
9.   Tourmaster magnetic tank bag (note the tank slapper film)
10. Ram iPhone holder (for the other ram ball)
11. Four fuse block with relay (for lights, and other to be installed electrical items)
12. Power-let BMW receptacle (to be mounted)
13. Dual USB charger (also to be mounted)
14. Yamaha factory heated grips (on order and yes to be mounted)
15. Yamaha factory lowering links (PITA to mount!)
16. Hyper lites (Nice!)
16. Retroreflective 3M film (custom cut to fit the bikes sexy curves)
17. Rim tape (red of course)
18. Shad 3P mounts with SH36 side bags and liners (from my old Versys) (new FJ09 mounts)
19. Battery tender
20. Mirror extenders
21. Cheapie shorty adjustable levers (ordered not yet received)
22. GoPro mounts (not on the bike just yet but will be as soon as I figure the best place(s)
 
I haven't yet decided on a headset (Sena probably) and I am dreaming up a custom accessory shelf over the instrumentation cluster. I'll also wait for a couple thousand miles and a couple good multi hundred mile days on whether or not to get a custom saddle.  
 
Loving the bike so far..........
 
For now.......... Pictures to come after all installs complete. I Promise..........

A good list! The only thing I can think you have missed is a radiator stone guard.
 
I went for Sena 10U by the way, as it fits inside my Schuberth helmet for a stealthy install.

Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

Most excellent suggestion!  Is there a favorite radiator guard in the group?

I went for this one from evotech. It’s got a discrete embossed logo and fits really well. https://evotech-performance.com/products/yamaha-mt-09-tracer-abs-radiator-guard-2015-onwards

Looks good, but if strapped for cash you can make one just as good from an <$20 piece of aluminium mesh as sold in all auto parts shops, and often seen in different anodized colours too.

Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia.

I bought the Evotech radiator guard.  Installed very easily, looks good, and I haven't noticed any issues with air flow etc.  I'm happy with it.
