Default Best accessory for the 1KRR under $50

Hello riders,

What in your opinion is a good accessory (or part, for that matter) < $50 ?
Some that I can think of are rim tapes, carbon fiber fuel tank lid, IPass (or EZPass) holder, dark face shield for helmet, gel grips etc.

Think simple, inexpensive and something that adds to looks or riding experience. Shoot...

Tank pad, bar ends, stand spools... Thats all I can come up with for $50
But for a little bit more I would go with...
Frame sliders, Windscreen, carbon exhaust shield.

i don't know what it'll do to pimp the looks but a battery tender gets my vote.

In addition to what CBRCRF said,

get rid of the rear blinkers and flap. I would go with an integrated tailight. really cleans the bike up. these usually run around 75 bucks, a little over what you stated, but worth it.

heres a pic of what my bike looks like from the rear. I think the company that makes the taillight is called clear alternatives. I've had it for 3 years now and its held up well.

I like it!!!!

Otherwise what CBRCRF said should cover it for cosmetic stuff and make it in that budget range.

-1 front sprocket. I dont think you can possibly improve performance more then that for about $30.

Good call! This was one of the best (and funnest) improvements to my bike. The only downside is that you will want to follow it up with a $99 Speedohealer.
