Adventure Aftermarket Parts

In a couple of weeks I am going to pick up my new '02 Adventure which I will take this summer for a trip around North America. Right now I am looking for aftermarket parts for my bike, so I was hopping that someone would have suggestions.
Where do I look for a protective guard for the headlights, which I think would be pretty expansive to replace?

Start with http://www.dual-star.com
Whatever they don't have, they can probably direct you to. They're really a great bunch of guys who are very knowledgable about adventuring on Big DS bikes.

Touratech.com is also always a great place to look for that sort of equipment.

Cheers,
Wright

Thank you Wright for a great tip, Dual-Star is a good place to shop. Not just that they have the LightGuard, which I was looking for, but also many other parts for dual-sport bikes.
Touratech really doesn't have a whole lot of parts for KTM, except for panniers, which I am getting from them.

The biggest range of aftermarket bits I've found is at www.ktm-sommer.de
The sites in German although they answer e-mail in English.

for a few specific items try:

http://www.hotgrips.com/dirtbikes.html
http://www.scottsperformance.com/indexmain.html

and a few other dealers:

http://www.ktm.de/
http://www.schneidercycles.de/shop/indexa.htm

Touratech's LED brake light solves the bulb problem.
