My experience with screen is limited bit this is what I did on my 2012 GS. I am 6'1, 108kg. I decided I didn't what the naked bike feel but also wanted to ride with my visor open when I felt like it. I put on the adventure screen, still a bit much buffeting and helmet a bit noisey, so I added the touratech extension which probably reduced the buffeting & noise by about 60%, so then I added the adventure winglets and that made everything very acceptable for what I wanted.
So for me I would go for the those 3 things but any less I would not bother with unless I wanted to have the naked bike feel and then I would put on a very small screen.

sargent seat £300 bangers
oil cooler guard, cymarc from nippy normans, easy to fit ssteel at £33, or black at £37.
adventure screen and winglets, watch the fs&w section on here, pretty rare as rocking horse shit but they do come up, to buy new including the extra support brace needed is just crazy money, do a search on here for screens as there have been loads of chat about this, theres a givi screen that looks good and much more reasonable has a good write up on this site.

Think this is what you need all the extras

Don't waste your money ,enjoy the bike as it is just ride it unless its uncomfortable I.e seat or screen ?? But apart from that nothing will make it look better and if you want it to go faster you've got the wrong bike

Seat: Kahedo low seat - lower than the BMW low seat but infinitely more comfy!

Oil Cooler guard - take your pick, there are loads. Rugged Roads (c/o Annette of this parish) do a really good one.

Screen - other comments are spot-on, it really is down to each individual's experience. I tried several (bought and sold-on via eBay) before settling down with a Givi.

Good luck!

I found the Givi Airflow screen brilliant on the GS, just put one om my Tenere and it is as good for this bike too.

My GS Seats were modded by Tony Archer - £70 for both, cheap comfort

On long motorwayu stretches we also throw a cheapo blow up stadium seat on, they feel weird on the twisties, but when you have 4 hours of solid motorway they do a great job.

Givi screen on mine (I am 6'3") with winglets and its perfect. Also fitted light guard. A GSA seat instead of the GS Seat but its still not that comfortable so fitted a sheepskin cover. Much better now. Extende front mudgaurd and a rear guard as well. Now I just want to ride it and have fun.
