£1000 to blow

[Speggo]

Having come back from Lands End all motivated and in love with my ADV, I have decided to spend a bit of dosh on it. It must have been all those other GS's loaded with goodies that did it.

So here is the question, Standard ADV with Autocom, Tobinators and GPS already fitted. What should I spend my £1k budget on? Y piece & Remus can? New seat (which one?) Ultimate earplugs? A set of matching panniers to go with my B*W top box? What else?

And before 6X pipes up, no suggestions of catering packs of spray-on mud please!

Go on a nice trip and put some miles on the beast. Don't buy anything just travel....

1. Got to be Ohlins then the rest in what ever order suits you...

Then a Y pipe with standard can for that extra bit of mid range punch and sound

Halford spots if you night ride on unlit roads

Tobinators if you have problem with buffeting


The above make a significant difference to your bike


As for GPS and Cases that's individual if you really need them you'll know if not it's just money attached to your bike...
