[cherokee]

ACF50

ACF50 or it will vanish before your very eyes..... welcome to the nut house...

 

[Skid06]

bar risers, akra exhaust, fender extender, limberger hugger, touratec seat, crash protection on paralever and cylinders

 

[Fluffmeister]

Mudsling (or Maier Equivalent), Front Fender Extender, Kahedo Front seat (Depending on the mileage you do I guess), MRA Screen, Radiator Protection, Cylinder head protection, Topical at the moment, a Cymarc Clock anti theft bracket

Agreed, and the second most important farkle is a 10yr old VFR to keep you on the road if the WC needs it's engine/ gearbox replaced

I'll 2nd and 3rd that

Don't ride on salty roads...or slightly damp roads....or if its windy in case bits get blown off.....

Nah its an amazing machine - but definitely coat the ENTIRE thing in ACF-50 if you intend to ride it between now and March.

NOTHING is essential except a willingness to jump on and take it for a ride (instead of cleaning and 'upgrading' it)

My best mod/addition was probably Autocom and Zumo 660 for SatNav & tunes on the longer rides.
Next to that would be crash bars and cylinder head guards - mine rolled off the stand 3 days after I bought it

After that its down to personal preference - I got some SW Motech Hawk spots as I like the look of them.

(fixed that for you)

 

[Nutty]

Mudsling
Fender extender
Bar risers
Akra exhaust
Nav V
Gear shift assist

 

[Giles]

Headers, exhaust and remap.

Bike is quick and responsive from stock, but with a free flowing exhaust and a re-map ...... just sublime fuelling ...

Or maybe you just thought you were going faster, as you didn't have any instruments!

Essential:
Machineart Mudsling
Cymarc Crud Catcher (looks better than a fuddy duddy fender extender)

Nice to have:
Cymarc Radiator Guards
Touratech 15mm bar risers
Wunderlich adjustable Screen Extension (great for big mileage)

Optimate lead aint a bad shout too.

New to forum , essential add ons and mods required:-

1 thick skin
2 sense of humour or lack thereof
3 ability to find the pointless drivel in any given topic and ensure it goes on and on and on and on etc you get the picture.

If you can deal with the regular shit thrown about on this forum then anything your bike has to endure will be minor in comparison.

Wellcome.

Oh and Acf 50 is a pretty good start otherwise when you get to April 2015 you may find your bike has dissolved into a heap by the roadside.

 

[Gargy]

You may need to cover yourself with ACF50 considering the amount of shit that's slung around on this site !

Just don't bite ! !.............. Wankers are wankers where ever they reside.

Crash bars
Cymarc crud catcher
Cymarc clock protector
Fender extender
Garmin 590
Sena SMH20s

 

[Paul S]

Nothing essential but for me the nice to haves in order of preference are:

Mudsling
Puig extra tall screen with spoiler
Cymark screen braces for the above
Touratech front seat (extra tall)
Nav V
Akra end can

 

[Neil W]

Definitely a Machine art Mudsling without it the shock and whole of the rear of the bike will get minging very quickly
Also a front fender extender for the same reasons
Seriously after the crap I got from the dealer after taking mine in for its first service (having dared to use it on dirty roads and turning up filthy) I would take measures to keep on top of its finish as it was written on the job sheet regarding its condition at 700 miles regarding any future claims regarding corrosion problems

 

[WindyChuffer]

1. Means to buy fuel.
2. Rider with a can do attitude.
and for winter:
3. Muffs.
4. Heated jacket.

6. Heated insoles.

Thats all.
