I was asked by someone starting out Green laneing about extras for the bike. This is what I told him and he saw a fellow rider go down with all the toys on his bike. It was towed home due to a very monor fall. Hope it helps.

Don't fit crash bars to your bike if your coming green laneing. They catch on things and pull you off. Things go wrong very suddenly so keep the bike as smooth as possible. If it falls over with crash bars the bike will dig into the dirt and break. You want it to slide and there is less damage. There is less chance of getting hooked by the bike as it goes over a cliff. Your better off watching it slide away from you. Appart from hand guards forget the after-market crap, it's just for the movies mate.

A bit of foam rubber on the tank in the nut-bag area can be a good idea.
