Absolutely must haves or dos? No.
None I think would be universal.
Ride it for a while. Your must haves will become apparent.
For me:
- K1300 metal pegs to replace the squishy rubber tubes on the OEM pegs.
- Sport seat
- OEM cylinder head guards (that get more ventilation than some of the (nicer) machineartmoto guards - ventilation might be important on high-rev, summer days in your neighborhood)
- Tractive suspension through Jeff Favorite at the Beemer shop.
That's about it. I did throw some sliders on and twice scratched some of them.
After 55,000 miles including a fair amount of gravel, one of the mechanics suggested a radiator guard - R&G makes an easy-to-install and remove version I now use.
In the same vein, I went ahead a got a machineartmoto mudsling to protect my shock. Also, easy on - easy off.
I don't consider these "must haves," though longterm, good radiator function has become a must have on these big bikes.
