SFV650 New here - looking for touring ideas

New here, hello everyone...
Just got a used 2013 SFV650 and took her on a 1200 miles round trip.
I was amazed at how comfy the stock seat was and how good the ride was overall...
The only complaints was the lack of windshield and lack of storage so I am trying to fix that now.
Looking for a good windscreen and a rear truck and mount.
Any ideas / recommendations ?
It used to be at one time that there was a lot of stuff available online to customize motorcycles, these days ebay/amazon hardly has anything.
Where is people getting the gear these days ?
Am looking for the best deal available to make this bike a bit more of a sport touring.
Thanks.

Was actually consider a new ( in 2018 ) SV650 to replace my aging Bandit 1200 before I stumbled across a used Bandit 1250 for a price I could not pass up. That is, until I test rode one. Greyt handing and lovely engine but the seat was utter crap; for me. I cut my ride short, it was that bad. The salesman tells me that he can get me a better seat for it and then could not find one available. Problem now is that the only ones I can find still put that silly arse racer tilt in the seat.

If you could ride 1/2 as good as you think you do, you would be a pro.
