I closed the thread in the for sale section, but will carry on with my thoughts on Extras here.
Here's what's on mine
Front casing protection....absolutely essential, personally I've gone for the Capanord mudguard with extender, the extender is a must.
Hanguards.... again I've gone for the Capanord handguards. They work much better than the OEM offering greater weather protection. They do need a small extension bracket making to fit perfectly.
Heated grips.... OEM work fairly well and I use grip puppies. Another advantage is, the throttle return spring is much lighter on the heated grips, the spring on the standard grips is rather strong.
Screen....The standard screen is good on a dry day in the summer, not so good when it's chucking it down and cold. I originally went with the OEM touring screen, looks ok, effective against cold and rain, but for me caused a lot of buffeting. I'm 5'10 with a long body and short 29" inside leg. I settled on an ERMAX slight tint screen, not quite as effective as the OEM touring, but much better than the short screen, causes very little buffeting. I think it looks bloody great as well
Exhaust.... QD exhaust and Y piece, well made, looks good, sounds good and saves a ton of weight. Has a removable baffle, but I'm too old for that these days.
Engine guards....maybe not essential, but you never know.
Centre stand....Essential for me to be able to turn the bike in my workshop. A little tip, get the dealer to fit, the springs are a bugger to get on.
Tubeless conversion....Can't imagine trying to change a tube at the side of the road and don't want to sit for 3hrs waiting for recovery. Easy to do with the 3M stuff. Cleanliness and patience are the key. Watch when removing the rear wheel, it's easy to scratch the paintwork. (PM me if you want any more info, I've done it 3 times now on different bikes)
Louder horn...needs no explanation.
Luggage... I've gone for the OEM panniers and a 30ltr Givi Trekker top box. I prefer the shorter depth of the 30ltr box, looks much better in my opinion and I don't need to put a helmet in it, plus it's black, I'm not a lover of silver. Small Hepco and Becker tank bag, goes on the ring fastener thing. I also have a 20ltr Give bag designed to fasten to the topbox.
Fog lamps....again not necessary, but I've found them useful on a couple of occasions.
Sat nav mount...made out of 20mmx2mm alloy bar, sprayed black, looks good works great, cost £2.49.
Rear slash guard...Adapted from a Honda 700, works well.
I've also painted the exhaust protectors and belly pan black. I think it looks miles better, did I say I didn't like silver.
I just can't see me not having a V85 in my life, it really is a great bike.
