How about a pix of your bike. Is your bike stock or do you already have any accessories like engine guards, sump guard, radiator guard, heated grips, panniers, topbox, tank bag?
Is your bike used for a lot of touring or camping? What is your spending budget for your planned up grades?

Value for money, one of the "3d" mesh seat covers is a great addition. Provides extra padding and pressure relief as well as ventilating the plums in hot weather.

Crash bars for when you are pushing it around and then drop it.  :shock:
