Well, she's a goodun.
Being a little more careful in the breaking in procedure, so a bit frustrating as the engine wants to go! I had added a Triumph small screen to hide a bit of wiring which looks a bit naff, but the wind now hits me in the face!
I was wearing an open face today, so I'll try a full face next time.
Also thought about a tank protector to stop my jacket from rubbing. Found a company on fleebay that only made blue and green styles.
When I asked about the red, they couldn't be more helpful and produced a red one, lush!
I had a OE side bag on the bike but felt it was too big for local use. This came off and store until the next time.
I purchased a hard case and already had a smaller bag from sw motech. These will be useful as the plastic bag can be locked albeit via padlock. The frame from them is on so when it arrives, I will have a few bags to chose from.
So far she has performed well, even getting use to the dash which has so much info, amazing bit of kit.
Good choice.
I bought the first XC to hit my closest Triumph dealer back when they first came out in 2019. Aside from wishing I had waited another year when the dealers were selling the leftover 2019's for $11,000-$12,000 US, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Don't worry too much about the break-in. Keep the RPM's reasonably low and try to vary your RPM a lot, and engine brake a lot; and don't idle it more than you need to.
I bought the 2019 brooklands green model, but these new color options are pretty damned nice looking so I am a bit jealous. Good call on the tail tidy and the new signals. I did that, bar-end mirrors, and blacked out a bunch of the brushed aluminum parts with a nice matte black plasti-dip coating so it can be peeled off if I ever decide to undo it.
 
Ive now added the hand warmers shields. That's what I call them as I never use them as bush guards!
The mirrors are back on until I find the bar ends to refit the small ones.
Nearly forgot, I bought some engine bars, easy to fit without removing the header pipe.
