Hello from a bracing West Sussex, UK

Hi,
I’ve been loitering around the forum for a couple of Weeks and whilst I am waiting for my tea to brew and my heater to warm up my garage, I thought I would introduce myself to the RT forum.
I bought my 2017 R1200RT LC (16k mileage) a couple of weeks ago and I am just beginning to start to understand it. This is my 4th BM but I return to the fold after 17 years with a VFR. How complex can it be after keeping a 23 year old VFR?
My purchases so far:
R&G crash protectors
Bumper engine guards. (Cheap from eBay but not sure about fitting them now)
Seat lowering bracket and rubber bungs (struggling to fit all parts as I am not sure there is enough clearance)
Givi Tankbag ring. (discovered it fouls on the switchgear on full lock)
Priority jobs to do:
Deep clean and apply ACF 50 up underneath and GT85 everywhere else.
Remove the centre stand and repaint.
For me, bike forums are the collective source of shared knowledge about our addiction that is motorcycling. Looking forward to the using and helping the BM RT forum collective mind.
