None come under the heading of essential, but all have the place and purpose
- Wunderlich crash bars as I think they are protective and still look very good, without looking like scaffolding around some government institution. Have to remove the stainless steel 'engine fairings' so I replaced them with the small plastic version which work with engine guards.
- Wunderlich tubular handlebar conversion, just a bit more comfortable and to my mind improves handling
the overall feel of the bike
- Tractive rear shock, a legacy item from the R1250R that I kept for only a year, from Jeff at Beemershop
- Wunderlich "breast plate" to protect the front of the engine, along with a small front fender extension. Hate getting mud everywhere.
- Someone's radiator guard which was a gift
- Hornig mirror base extensions & convex split mirror overlays, so I can see more than my shoulders
- radar detector and laser jammers - speed limits are so overrated
- MotoMate GPS relocator
- battery tender pigtail at the back of the bike
- Clearwater Darla lights for conspicuity (one of the reasons for crash guards as opposed to the plastic head protectors)
- Wunderlich tank bag (sounds to be the same as yours, the very small one mounted on pins on the tank)
- Seth Laam custom seat
- panniers but no top box
- Remus muffler (wouldn't get that again, but was effectively a freebie with the bike, probably should sell it)
- better horn to replace the feeble mouse fart
- hidden garage door opener, and additional power outlets, USB and BMW plug style
- Australian-market BMW rear mudguard to replace the stupid skinny standard item
- MoMa hugger (similar reasons to above but mostly to protect the exposed shock (another stupid design sacrifice in favor of fashion imo)
- dash cams front and rear. Proved their worth when I was rear ended on the RT.
- Clearwater 'Billy" brake light
- side stand foot enlarger (Louisiana tarmac can be problematic when it gets REALLY hot)
- smaller WRS windshield (wonderfully quiet)
