Chrome 
Parka
keep the chrome in the bathroom and the parka in the closit 
front rack will just slow you down, but a small vespa flyscreen will make you quicker, it's all about aerodynamics.....
crash bars can be ill fitting.....
and your parka will act like a parachute and doesn't really offer the kind of protection you need travelling on todays roads at 80 - 90 mph

i agree but it slows you down aswell and you can't filter as good which is part of having 2 wheels (or 3  )

Yep they do run away with you dont they, early last year went out with my mate on his GTS, doing 70 before I knew it on the M55, told him slow down a bit as mine was getting hot and temp going up all the time, felt a right twat when we stopped and he showed me it was the mileage going up not the temp guage! thought 100 and odd was running a bit hot Well it was my first outing on the motorway with it, give us a break
