I have been adding a few accessories in preparation for my upcoming Alaska trip and thought I'll share a few pics with you for your thoughts:
1) Spare Gas Can:
I replaced the passenger seat with 1.3 gallon (5 litre) hard plastic gas can (Amazon). It's similar to Rotopax but shorter in length and width and therefore neatly fits the slot. It rests on the same mounts that held the seat.

2) Tool Tubes:
I wanted to keep the weight of tools closer to the foot pegs. These tool tubes are mounted on the rear foot pegs and the OEM luggage bracket with some improvised hardware. It's easily accessible even with the panniers on.

3) DRL and Fog lamps.
These are $30/pair 10w LED lights from Amazon (I am cheap ). These have been tried and tested and have lasted several years on my bike. I added an additional set with a bit of improvisation using hard parts purchased from Home Depot.

4) Heat Controller for heated gear.
This is the Tourmaster dual controller and it came with a Velcro strap to be strapped on your thigh when riding. I instead fabricated a piece aluminium sheet with a clip installed to the fame just under the seat.
