Hi guys,

I'm seriously thinking of getting myself an 800GS again. I used to have a 2012 Trophy Edition (blue and white), but sold it in 2014 when my 2nd child arrived, and because it came standard with bashplate and hand guards, I did not add much more than SW-Motech crash bars and a headlight protector.

I want to go do some "normal" adventure touring, as I haven't been off road in a very long time!

I'm in Pretoria East, and work in Centurion, so sourcing should be in these area preferably.

I'm a bit lazy to go through all the threads for my specific needs, but what I'm looking for is:

1. Bash plate (which according to the group is best aftermarket)
2. Hand guards (thinking of Bark Busters)
3. Headlight protector
4. Touring screen
5. Soft luggage (Wolfman maybe)
6. Crash bars (maybe sw-motech again)
7. Top box (thinking Trax aluminium)
8. New exhaust (thinking Acrapovic or Scorch)
9. Accelerator Module (is this really necessary, any significant difference in performance for the price?)

Here's a pic of the one I'm looking to get:
