I recently got myself a 2015 1200RS after running a 2001 VFR800 for 14 years and want to see what tips I can get from other owners on the best bits to fit.

Welcome. I rode VFRs and interceptors from '85 on until I bought my 2018 RS. My last one, a 2014 was the best every but even with the bar riser installed I couldn't ride for more than a couple hours without hurting. I bought bar risers for the RS, tried them, and took them back off. For me the stock position on the RS is just about perfect. Obviously that's a very personal choice, and you'll get plenty of opinions here. Once you get used to the longer wheel base on the RS, compared to the VFR, I think your going to like it.

Also a former VFR owner. Welcome to the RS world from the Bay Area!!

Welcome Neil, my second hand R1200RS came with some of the accessories that seem to be recommended on the forum; 'MachineArt Mudsling'- to protect the rear shock, Avant Guard engine guard ( the front mudguard is short so the engine can get stone hits, 'X-head' cylinder protectors. It also came with Wunderlich frame plugs. Happy riding
