My choises of after market extra equipment is very variated selective chosen from many different brands.
Some particular parts are hard to find from more than one company if you want decent quality.
Screen.
I have tried 4 now and only Wunderlich Ergo Vario with spoiler covers fully.
Toolbox with low gravity. Touratech is the answer.
Comfortable seat. Only comfort seat from BMW fits me popo.

With any little part, there are considerations other than the price.

Touratech are expensive but I find the parts from them, that I chose, to be high grade quality. As are Wunderlich.
And the great thing is that they both have huge selection. One stop shopping is almost possible if you want that.

I've looked at Touratech gear and been impressed with quality but a bit daunted at the price. :ohmy:

But I have tools and a shed, more fun hitting bits of metal for hours than spending my hard-earned. :lol:

Like most people I fit what suits me and is around the price I want to pay. Only bit of touratech on my bike is a 20mm bar risers. Just happened to be the cheapest set at the time! :)

I have to admit the Lemon and Lime isn't to my taste either, however the pic's are a little bias, the Silver and Blue schemes on the BMW's are a bit more like it.
Regarding the bling, my baby has been adorned with a bit of Touratech, and if I had to mark them out of ten It would be the following.
Fit 10
Finish 10
Quality 10
Price 5
The way I would justify the purchase as opposed to say Rugged Roads, is that I'm hoping that whatever the part is would be a one off purchase, so I'd want to be happy with it.
That said, wtf is the pricing on the fog / spot lights all about?; I like Touratech but on what are arguably vulnerable parts I think the prices are way OTT, to which I wouldn't even consider them unless they were second hand and or cheap.
Like TT I'm not adverse to making some parts also, their big foot is quite expensive for what it is and I've made mine for the price of a couple of SS nuts and bolts, plus it's nice to know that you've made it and it works.
The end of the road is the start of the fun
