Don't worry about the sprag until it actually starts being a problem. I've got a mate that has a 95 like mine and his hasn't given any indication of being iffy. In the meantime, follow some good habits:
1) Always start the bike in neutral with the clutch pulled in.
2) If the clutch tends to stick in the cold or after the bike hasn't been used for a while - rock the bike to unjam the plates before starting
2) If you find you're having to crank the bike a lot to get it started, get it tuned/fixed.
That'll keep the pressure off the sprag.
If you are cranking the starter and you hear a vicious sounding CLACK, and the cranking hesitates, that's the sprag slipping. Mine went from occasional to all the time in about 5 or 6 months. Then I fixed it myself (as did Stan) and it wasn't as bad as I feared.
The pannier brackets came with mine. Keep an eye on ebay, they might come up there and use keyword searches in this forum - I think some folks have made their own or adapted others. Good luck.
