I think one of these will be going on it as well
Good for 20-30 miles but not much more.

I use these Charge Spoons on other bikes, never had a problem, can do 50 to 60 without discomfort

Looking good. I'm toying with the idea of green lizard skins tape or black tape with green cable outers when I fit replacement shifters following an accident.

That's the saddle I've added to the defy0 as I have a white one on the winter hack. It's more about the pad in your bibs for distance, these are fairly comfortable saddles

Cool bike and snazzy mudguard!
Would look at the mudguard if they made them for 35mm tyres!

This one is rated up to 35c

Also its meant to be fitted on the DS, but it won't because of where the rear mech shifter cable exits the frame. It fits fine on the NDS

I had a wet and mucky 50 miles last Sunday with that guard, it does prevent a stripe up your back, and does cut down the amount of cr@p thrown up on the back light and saddle pack. It's not so great for those behind you though. I don't think it's worth the full price, but I managed to get it from ebay at just less than half so I though I would give it a go. And our does attract interest if that's what you like.
There are a few reviews around of it if you look and also a slow mo video of it in action

Its looking very smart! Was the Ultegra crankset a straight replacement for the original RS500 or did you need to change the press fit bottom bracket for an Ultegra 6800 one? Also, what is the weight difference between the RS500 and the Ultegra (which I believe weighs around 765 grams). Just asking because I am thinking of upgrading my Defy 0 to the Ultegra crankset which has the RS500 and press fit BB similar to the original spec on your bike. As you have knocked nearly a kilo off the weight of yours I was wondering where the savings had been made.

You save about 200 grams, the rest of the saving was wheels, tyres and tubes. The crank fitted is Ultegra 6750 so not bang up to date. The Pressfit BB will fit any Hollowtech cranks so no change is required there.
If your crank arm looks like this then it will fit
