New Monster 796 ABS owner

Hi everyone,
I picked up my beautiful pearl with/red frame, 2013, 748 mile, Monster 796 ABS last night so I thought I’d just say hello before I pick your brains on some upgrades & modifications.
So I’m only one ride in & what a ride, about 60 miles down the A19 & A1 in 40-50 mph cross winds & rain. But my 5’11” frame was comfy on the bike & she took it all in her stride, so I’m looking forward to my next ride in some calm dry sunny weather.
So I have a few mods in mind;
• Evotech tail tidy (will order today).
• Some crash bungs for the frame & front axle.
• Some end cans – thinking SC Project Carbon Oval.
• Some bar end mirrors – thinking Oberon 3” diameter.
One thing I noticed on the first ride was the gearing. As I neared the end of my motorway journey I realized I was in 5th gear. At 80 mph going up into 6th dropped the rev’s to approx. 4000 rpm & the motor was very lumpy, she was much happier at 5000 rpm or above where the motor was sweat.
I also have a 2009 Aprilia RSV Mille R & when I got that 6th gear was obsolete for 90% of my riding, so the final drive was dropped by one tooth on the front sprocket & upped by two teeth on the back. So any feed back on the gearing of the Monster would be welcome.
Any advice on running the bike & especially on my proposed mods would be greatly appreciated although I’ll post on the specific forum place in due course.
