New S3 (white) coming the 21st-need input on whether or not to get one installed. Also . any other "must -haves" from the accessory catalogs. ?? I have ordered the fly screen and TORS along with the Hugger, and need to know if I should consider other stuff.

I'll get the seat cowl and remove passenger pegs too. Oh, and a set of frame sliders and different mirrors (I like the ones from the Benelli somebody here has). I know I won't like the seat, but will give it a chance. Since nobody makes a replacement, it'll be harder to achieve, since it'd require sending it somewhere and not having the bike to ride. I think I'd try Sargent.
Other than that, you're all set. But those things will cost us in excess of a grand. Oh well. A ducati would be worse, with the zillion things on the market.

Sliders... Bar ends, mine are CRG. Excellent little mirrors with a very wide angle of view. Get the Triumph rear wheel nut covers, gives the rear wheel a nice finished look.

TORS and the new map... New map regardless. Get your tank clear bra-ed on the knee inserts and below the gas filler. Or do the Carbon cover. Looks good on black.

yeah get the tank clear-bra'd ... your knees will kill the finish in 100 miles!

The benelli mirrors are very nice looking and high quality. UNFORTUNATELY they do not solve the shoulder issue complete. I can see my shoulders in the first 50% of the benelli mirror and the road in the last 50% (the pointy bits).
