Please, where did you get the new sidestand, and the crash bars? Did Overland do all the mods ?
My PD's the same colour !! See you've still got the metal plug caps on -aren't they normally pretty unreliable ?
Bike looks good, but not too aerodynamic at the front !!!

How long before you get fed-up with the rattle of padlocks and bin 'em?
Oh, and tape that spare throttle cable up on the right hand side

Good point Actually.
One of the things I will be changing will be the rear padlocks that secure the pannier lids,not because they are making any noise as they do not quite surprisingly.But because I always tend to have the " keep things simple " mentality.
So The rear ones are going and being replaced with a solid latch to hold the lid secure,and Im making some neoprene covers to go over the remaining locks to keep all the crap out of them.
Good eyes....the tapes coming out today!

Front Panniers
Ah
Just thought I would mention that I have fitted a set of Wolfman Baggage Front panniers to the bike and I am scooting about and seeing how well they stay secured on a wide tank BMW.
Used these on my Aussie trip to great success and I have found first hand how important it is to spread the weight out on the bike and ideally get some weight onto the front......to have an arse heavy bike in an isolated area on slimy mud is a little character building to say the least.
They are well made rubberised canvas with heat shields and are secured with a simple system of adjustable straps......I think they can contain about 10 litres each of kit......the down side is they tend to look like you are going for the Paris-Dakar look a little too hard.
