Twin F650 gs

Picked up my new F650gs Twin last week, rode it 1200km to home, via
Lochy,s to have my new MTD Luggage fitted (Aluminium Panniers) very
happy with them. I now need to fit a engine guard and crash bars, does
anybody know which are the best to get the engine guards the ones I have seen
look a bit 'how you goin' to me. Also anything else I need to change or add
as this bike is doing a Cairo-Cape Town.
Also has anybody heard any reports on Corbin seats for these bikes, as I have 1200 reasons why the seat and my rear fought every inch of the way apart from that I am rapt in the bike alot lighter than my Wee-Strom and I forgot windscreen is crap to.
All comments and recomendations appreciated

Thanks
Paul

Have a look at the threads on the UKGSer forum.

I have the Eagle screen (from Australia), BMW bash plate and Givi bars, but there's lots of choices now. Your best bet with the seat might be to find a local specialist and have part replaced with memory foam (not gell). Personally I use an AirHawk on mine.
