I thought it was gonna be the Ultimate Low Boy I put on her but, then I got the I/S tank and added the belly tank. Honesly they compliment each other, the additional fuel allows me to enjoy the Low Boy that much more. Now if I can just put the funds together for those Mick O Pegs, I think I'm set. |

In order of event: #1-I/S tank, became available just weeks after I bought the bike. #2-Centerstand #3-Audiovox cruise control I almost forgot: #4-My leather work, for which I worked over three months to earn. And worth every minute of the effort because the fruit of my and the owner's labor got him a trophy at the first Michigan InZane. Now that makes you feel good. |

I'm going to lump my aux lights in with my headlight modulator. I'm more comfortable, but yet not complacent, knowing I've done about as much as I can do to make the other guy see me.

Tied for first place may be the 4 piece studded Ultimate King Big Boy set, the Brake-A-Way throttle lock and the Hondaline tank strap. The studs on the Ultimate seat set and the tank strap really work well together.
Next up is the Standard/Tourer tail light I added and the Hondaline CB and fog lights.
OK, without the 4 piece Ultimate studded King Big Boy set neither me or my wife would like the big girl nearly as much as we do. That seat set may just take first place!
All the best,
Mark

One of the best things I've put on the bike is from Harley...... they have a thin vented mesh seat cover that works like a champ!!!!! Maybe 3/16" thick, but lets air under yer butt.... FB and I rode 1200 miles in two days.... 105*+ temps... and NO MONKEY BUTT!!!!! or even a sweaty butt!!!!! It is Sweet!!!!!! The oval cover fits just right and has an elastic strap that holds it in place!!!! Beats the heck out of wood beads or sheepskin!!!! |

It's a tossup between the belly tank and the Ultimate Seats. The seats make the ride much more enjoyable, especially for the wife. "If mama ain't happy,............" The belly tank just means I don't have to worry about gas out in the middle of no where.

Not really an accessory, but replacing my Standard tank with the Interstate tank has been a winner on long trips. No more anxiety in the middle of Nebraska with nothing in sight except corn. Easier planning. I can squeeze 7 gal. into the tank .

Ultimate Big Boy seat/backrest. Without that, the other things would not have been purchased as the stock seat was simply not comfortable to me.

Headlight Modulator.....Can't tell you how many times already this has helped. I've lost count on how many people that started to pull out on side streets, then stop abruptly when they see the flashing!!
And about 10 people that have pulled over completely!

Four things I won't travel without. Drivers backrest, throttle lock (cruise control), windshield, and a GPS. The GPS has helped my ride more than anything else.

I haven't seen it listed yet, but I would say the Goldwing adjustable clutch and brake levers. They are alot wider than stock which makes it alot easier and more comfortable if you have to sit in traffic or something. Plus they are chrome!
Other than that I would say backrest then throttle lock.

With my limited resources it's a short list. The Cramp Buster-The Utopia backrest-the sheepskin for the seat-and most recently the Joe Rockrt armored mesh jacket.  As someone stated earlier while not an accesory i will remain a D/S affcianado. RIDE SAFE. |
