Ho Rob, respect , nearly 900 miles is a serious days ride.

I'm mulling over a trip to see my mate in Italy but I suspect I'll whimp out, fly, and hire when I get there. I'm begining to accept my limitations in my late '50'a.

I'll look into the German Brackets. I've plumped for ordering a carbon screen plus some other bits from one of the few places still making (made to order) MT-01 bits, MDI Carbon Fiber in the USA. I suspect they might have been the source of your short screen as they offer one just like it but I've gone for a larger one just to see if I can deflect a bit more air. I'll see how poor their brackets are and look into the German option. I'm a bit gutted how few people are producing MT bits these days, but i'd guess it's because there aren't too many out there. I stripped off a load of bits jesterday just to remove my rear mudguard/hugger to give it a bit of restoration and saw how corroded my exhaust collector section is. Looks like a project for winter but if it can be saved, I know a man who can treat and coat it with ceramic paint. If you've never looked into it I'd recommend it, it's proper tough, helps disperse heat, and adds a couple of horses which can't be a bad thing.

Cheers,

As you say the riding position is great, my longest day on the MT was 879 miles with about 400 of them done on German autobahns so high speed riding doesn’t come much quicker than that. No real adverse effects afterwards but of course there were frequent fuel stops ( she can be a thirsty beast when ridden hard) to stretch the legs as well as  a 90 minute channel crossing

This picture shows the Ventura rack and bag, it really does work well.
The SW Motech tank bag attaches via a locking ring bolted to the fuel filler, very unobtrusive when you don’t have the tank bag on and no contact with the tank.
Believe it or not the little fly screen over the headlight and in front of the clock seems to do a reasonably good job of deflecting wind over my lid.

I like the orange, looks good. You could try a Ventura rack/bag system, the advantage is that you can take the rack off easily when you don’t need it and replace it with a grab handle which makes moving the bike around quite a bit easier. It works for me and can easily carry gear for a 10 day Euro trip.
I could never bring myself to use throwovers on mine for fear of marking up the exhaust shrouds so it was a good excuse to buy myself an XT1200 to go with the MT for when I need to carry camping gear etc.

Welcome to the club. I think the single seat kit reduces your options quite a bit, but @TimR  manages to carry some luggage on this on the seat hump if I remember right.
