Right ideas for accessories, but wrong order.  Tank protection has to come
first.  Protecting it after it is scratched is like closing the barn door
after the horses have bolted!

Heated grips and tall screen should be next to deal with the weather.  The
Genmar risers are a great match for the tall screen, in addition to making
the ride so much more comfortable (even the seat feels better).  The 1-1/8"
thickness brought the bars up 1-1/4" (yes, more than the thickness of the
riser -- remember your geometry) and back by 1/2".  Now they are absolutely
perfect!  IMHO of course.

Panniers and top box if you want to travel.

I've got a list of low-priced goodies that I'll talk about tomorrow
afternoon.  At least one looks to be a "must have" and only cost $10 or so!
