Footpegs? A bit pricey but I like the look of these ones. May give more of an aftermarket rearset look.

Well...
You could get rid of the Öhlins sticker from the mud guard...
Or do they pay you for advertisement?

That's what I usually use. keep jetting washing the salt off weekly atm and has taken most of it off. Just covered my bike in chain lube instead this time

Ah but on his bike it's part of the hugger. IMO it would look better with a black hugger.
As for 'what else can I do'... Spray it matt black with cheap rattle cans with a skull motif & throw in a Maltese cross or two in aswell. Recover the seat in fake tiger stripes or leopard spots & some nice ape hangers to finish the effect. Job done simples!

Mac, that is very true, but that Pyramid hugger is designed for the standard chain guard to fit over it. I should know as I have the very same on my bike
Mind you I didn't like the way the Pyramid chain guard (part of the hugger) fitted with the standard chain guard going over the top of it. So being the fussy bu**er I am, I had to fabricate a bracket in metal so I was happy with it
