Hey everyone,
I live in Washington state in the US. I bought my Desert X 2 days ago (September 15th). I have 250 miles on it now from a few small rides and a longer ride today. All of that has been on street so far. But I'm planning to take it off road in 2 weeks. I have only added the headlight guard (which I'd recommend for anyone going offroad), spools for my rear stand, and a phone mount. There are many other accessories that I'm considering:
Definitely getting
Possible, but probably will hold off on
I'll likely use the Desert X roughly the same amount on street as offroad I'm guessing. I have a V4 Pikes Peak Multistrada that is an awesome bike. And I have 2 different Panigale 959's. One of them is 100% track dedicated. I should also mention that my wife is very understanding. I bought 3 bikes this year. The Desert X is my first Adventure Bike.

- Crash bars
- rear axle sliders
- front axle sliders
- Side stand extension
- Water pump protection
- Engine protection
- Radiator protection
Possible, but probably will hold off on
- Tail bag - I have a small Mosko Moto bag which is fine for day trips. I have a large waterproof duffel bag, which I think will work for multi-day trips
- Top case - With the soft bags I have, I don't think I'll need this. But if my wife ever goes 2up, she would strongly prefer this
- Side Panniers - The aluminum side panniers look very convenient and secure. But they add weight, and are expensive. So, I'll hold off on those for now
