I also added 2 driving lights under the mirrors, a LED in the air scoop, and drive with my fog lights, driving lights and HID headlights all on at once.

Useful at times but not required... I ride a full dress Intruder 1500 and the only accessory I would add is a Tach. No Radios of any kind as they contribute to lack of attention i.e. riding safely. Besides I ride to get away from it all, not to take it with me. GPS, come on...if you can't read a map you shouldn't be out playing in traffic....besides, yet another distraction from paying attention to what's happening around you like the music. Radar...simple. OBEY THE LAW...end of discussion. Kickstand pad?...sure I have one JIC. Drink holder? Yep, got one of those too. Cel phone holder? It should be turned off while riding so why would you need more than a pocket in your jeans? Loud pipes? Usless Farkle...Wastes gas and annoys everybody. Air Horn? - Great Farkle. Mustang Driver Back Rest? Wow, best farkle I got! Clock, great when it works. Saddlebags...a must for any rider who goes farther than around the block. Windshield? O'boy, can' imagine suffering wind blast on long rides, or short ones. Besides, keeps the bugs off your teeth. Cruise Lock?...yep, my old wrist gets tired at times. So, some farkles are a pleasure to have mounted while others like entertainment systems are very dangerous to have on a bike, or even in a car for that matter, we almost never turn ours on in the car either and our cel phones are always off, yes always! Riding a motorcycle is for fun not for getting somewhere in a hurry. Fun is enjoying what's around you, being a swivel head; not rolling down the road listening to some rock garbage or rap crap. 60 years of riding and a million miles in the saddle and still enjoying every "farkle" minute of it. :) Farkles: Definition?
