Don't know if this is the right place for this, but here we go.

I'm planning to upgrade my ride to a new 660 Tenere end July, and want to fit it and myself out completely for adventure touring (whilst my redundancy payout lasts). I don't want to spend a fortune, but I don't want anything cheap/substandard either. I'd really appreciate anybody's feedback on what they reckon would be the best options for the following bits:

Bike
sump guard
crash bars (for engine/tank?)
other worthwhile guards
panniers & top box (currently thinking Metal Mule)
handguards (Barkbusters?)
power socket
spot/flood lights
pivot footpegs
other considerations/suggestions (will get the key mods thing when can afford it)

Personal
helmet (Arai XD/ Shark Evoline 2?/other?)
jacket & pants combo (got 17yr old Belstaff gear, but bit ratty & no armour)
boots
other considerations/suggestions?

Emergency/Recovery Gear
tool kit (get a commercial offering of home assembled?)
compressor?
other considerations/suggestions?

Camping (Confession: ok, I'm a bit of a pack-rat)
tent (saw one where the bike can be parked inside - bit of **** you reckon?)
sleeping mat (can probably get away with using my army sleeping bag)
stove (thinking jetboil)
other consideration/suggestions?

So there you go, not much really then. Thanks in advance of any tips you can provide. Cheers.
