Farkles so far:
Motolights
P3 Skene Lights (easy and clean install for wiring)
Ohlins with rear sock
Akrapovic titanium exhaust
BMW engine guards
That's it for now. Will get a Sargent seat upgrade next year.

Sweet!
I'm hearing a lot about the P3 LED light system. I think that's next for my machine.

Echo - your bike looks great!!!!
Can i ask where you got the ohlins SOCK???
After a good nights sleep - i decided not to get a rear hugger.
Though i may end up feeling a bit guilty covering these beautiful ohlins with a
sock . They have a right to be shown off to the world
Regards,

Ohlins USA in North Carolina. Dan Kyle Racing in CALF also carries them.

I've installed Motolights on my other bikes and they are pretty easy to install but I had the dealer put them on the R12R. The Motolights were installed for free when I purchased the bike and lights from the dealer. It uses the Touratech Canbus helper (you can also use the Centech AP-1, etc).
The instructions are quite clear and the Touratech ( or Centech fuse box) keeps you from screwing up the Canbus. And Motolights has great customer service.
