I'm height challenged, so it isn't a issue, but I do find the stock seat uncomfortable after a bit and use an AirHawk cushion for long days and trips.
The CB1100 can handle gravel just fine; a light trail maybe. Anything too challenging and it's limitation, at least so far as I'm concerned, is its weight.
Never head of a skid-plate option. In the absence of any other answers, try Samurider.
Try searching luggage options; there's been plenty of discussion in the past. What system did you have on the KLR? Could it be replicated on the CB1100
It was a like a horse saddle luggage with two ballistic fabric pannier bags on the sides and a detachable one on the rear/top. I didn't like it because packing was kind of a pain even with removable liner bags, and the corner seams eventually ripped from tension or weight or packing. Altrider Hemisphere luggage. So, I don't want to replicate that. I think something along these lines might fit well.
