Just some tips for ya as I just sold a vstrom and had it for 5 years. Givi crash bars vibrate like a tuning fork. Get the ones from SW Motech or antihero brand. Rox Risers are great for moving the handlebars up and back, but you may need to replace the clutch and brake cables as the stock ones may not have enough slack. Also, an ATV bend handlebar works great. Finding a skid plate is difficult. There are a few for the 650, but not many or any for the 1000. At least I never found one that was priced reasonably. If you find the seat not to your liking, seatconcepts.com does a great job on the seat. A really nice and cheap addition is a fork brace. It really helps the handling. If you get a lot of annoying wind buffeting bouncing your head around, get a madstad adjustable windshield mount. Put many fun miles on my vstrom. All trouble free. Very reliable bike.
