Lucky or what!

I got a test ride (1200GS) 3 weeks ago at Jefferies in Shipley. Loved the bike and ordered one to be delivered at the end of November (a cancelled order).

A week later I went in to finalise the px deal on my 1150r and was told of a bike I could have within the week due to another cancellation!

I picked the bike up last Saturday and spent the day smiling all the way from Shipley to Kettlewell, Aysgarth, Hawes, Ingleton, Settle and home to Halifax. What a bike! I loved the 1150r for it's 'real bike' looks and great finish but it can't come close to the GS for handling and sheer fun. I wish I were half as good a rider as the bike makes me appear to be!

I am thinking about adding a few bits and would appreciate your views and knowledge on the following items:

Touratech crash bars, H&B crash bars.
Touratech oil cooler covers.
Touratech headlamp covers.
Remus exhausts.
Huggers and extended mudguards (originals don't seem very effective against Yorkshire Dales horse and cow s..t)

Thanks in advance for any help or advise you can give.

By the way, you,ve got a great site here, keep up the good work!:)

Thanks for that CC

HiFi is an interest only (another expensive one)

Currently Elite Rock2, Alphason arm, Musical Fidelity amp and CD, Proac Response speakers, Rel Stadium sub.
 
I have just fitted a Touratech headlamp protector and I will be taking it off this weekend !
I am sure it would help if I was using the bike off road but on tarmac in the dark it just deflects light in all the wrong places.Might put it back on for the summer to collect flies , unless you want to buy it off me !
