The SW-Motech engine guards have my eye, just as a mount point for aux lights and/or highway pegs.
Next on my list is probably a windscreen; likely a National Cycle Plexistar 2, but I'm looking around for higher-quality hardware for the fork mounting points (my baby deserves better than adjustable metal hose clamps, at least until proven otherwise).
All the decent-sized saddlebag solutions appear to require moving the rear turn signals back toward the tail light / license plate bracket, and I've had trouble gleaning the cleanest / lowest cost / preferred path for that. In the meantime I'm leaning toward piling things atop the rear seat (hence the tail bag above) and maybe adding a Kijima rear rack. Top boxes are fugly but all my friends that have them swear by them.
Enjoy the customization process; it will be a process with this bike.
The NC PS2 is a stout windshield set up. Properly positioned, it knocks practically all the air off me. The "hose clamps" of which you speak are very sturdy. Most of the support comes from the handlebar mount set up.
Glad to hear it; wind blast is currently the biggest obstacle between my CB and its intended "mission": miles in comfort at 60+.
