I think I ticked most of the typical boxes, but the BMW spec sheet breaks it all down into smaller "packages" than is typically marketed. But, "Select Pkg," with DTC (the cause of most of the production delays, according to the Bulletin we were reading at the shop on Saturday), etc.
Another Bulletin item is that the Chrome exhaust is being discontinued once production starts back up, to be replaced with something in the "brushed titanium" family (there was a code #, I think, but it meant nothing to me).
I added the Sport Seat (I'm 6'4", 34" inseam) and rear rack, as well, but that's about it for factory add-ons. I'll use the rear rack for some sort of tail bag (not a top-case guy, I guess), and I'm still pondering saddlebags. The SHAD set-up looks pretty slick, but I haven't ruled out the BMW route. Any thoughts would be welcome, but they totally change the look of the bike so much that it seems unlikely that they'd be on all the time.
Will add risers and a footpeg relo kit of some sort, and I'm all ears on what you wise folks have to say based on your experiences. Just trying to "relax the triangle."
I'm also studying windscreens, but I've come across another owner who is my exact height who seems totally satisfied with the stock screen, and he's covered a LOT of miles in a short time. Will just ride it and see when it comes to this one.
Still quite a bit to figure out, now that I write it all down!
