    Eurosport is a great dealership. Congrats on the bike! I’ve got very similar farkles on my GSA but haven’t done the mirrors yet. I recently completed the 2 day off-road course at BMW in Greer and dropped the bike several times and was surprised the factory hand guard never broke. I would recommend keeping extra levers for clutch and brake levers as one of those did break during a drop.

      Great to hear! I’d love to do that course, but haven’t been willing to drop the cash on it.

    I should have bought my 23 GSA from Asheville. The dealer here in Charlotte doesn't give you any options nor accessories discounts on a new bike purchase.
    Mine came with factory Michelin Anakee Adventure tires. I hate them. The front tire is awfully noisy. The rear tire was doing something weird. I thought something was wrong with the transmission or the drive shaft. It was vibrating at high speed and felt like a tapping noise in the front foot pegs. Of course the dealer said everything was normal. I was about to sell the bike but decided to try another rear tire. Went with a Continental TKC 80 Rocks. It's a lot more off-road oriented tire BUT now it's like a got another bike. No more strong vibrations felt in the handlebars at high speed, no tapping feeling when accelerating. Now it rides like a BMW! VERY SMOOTH.

    I added a 'machine art' front fender extender.....( I have the muslinger... pretty expensive for a bit of plastic..😳) ... Evotech rear shaft spindle protectors ....
    RubbaTech shaft protector (boots can rub on the shaft occasionally).... and am also toying with adding some Touratech reinforcing struts for the lower engine bars...

    I too bought a 2023 GSA
    My list looks similar to yours but i made a few others so goes like this
    Head light guard similar but amazon
    Double back mirrors but added some small adjustable convex spot mirrors for the blind spots
    Kick stand switch guard amazon
    Rear master cyl reservoir cover amazon
    Front and rear fender extenders amazon
    Center stand assist handle amazon but had to make a pannier support brkt to make it fit
    Kick stand pad extenders made my own
    Helmet hook right rear pannier area (seen my friends new aria almost hit the ground so i made a hook to hang my helmet on
    I put about 4-5” front rear fender leather flap to keep debris from hitting front of my motor
    So similar to your but a little different

    Does the Bumont toolbox hit the rear splashguard? I broke my splashguard with the Wunderlich Toolbox. Apparently later they included in the manual to "remove the splashguard" if you want to use it with the toolbox...

      Most definitely! I’ve been way behind on my riding, adventures, and content due to helping my out of state parents through some serious health issues. I’ve been away from home about 50% of the time in the past two years. I have high hopes for a reprieve in 2024, though, and hope to be making some more KLX content. I love that bike!

    10% off product, but presumably paying for the labor to install, does not seem to be a win. Labor costs far exceed to 10% off benefit.

      You would be correct, but as I stated, my dealer offered 10% off AND free installation. I view that as a win/win.
