Hi all,
I'll be picking up my 2015 ES next Friday after they get it ready. I need to work with the dealer on what accessories I want them to try to get. I need to finalize my list then see what the dealer can actually get. I do a lot of long distance riding and this will be my main bike with my 126k+ mile ST1300 as my second bike. Here are the things, in order, I want to try to get through the dealer:
-Panniers. I really want Jesse 8" Odyssey II but I'll bet they can't get them. Anyone who bought through their dealer have words of wisdom? Or another high quality bag that their dealer was able to get? Obviously I need bags and mounts.
-Engine guards. I'm still researching these. I want something I can mount highway pegs on that will be in a location to be useful for my 6'4" height and 34" inseam. In other words, fairly far forward. I also want to mount aux lighting on them.
-Engine skid plate. This doesn't really have to go through the dealer since it isn't big ticket.
-Madstad windshield mount.
-Windshield. I think I want a Parabellum, but I have read good things about the tall Yamaha shield. Advice here? If they are very similar, I could go with the Yammy since I know they can handle that.
All the electronics I'll handle myself (lighting, fuse block, wiring, Stebel) as well as aux tank. Though I'm looking at tail racks that would work well for mounting a tank. I need to research this more.
Thanks for any advice you can supply. I haven't purchased often, and this is the first time I've ever had a dealer willing to do aftermarket parts (non factory accessories).
