The most useless add-ons are the Kuraykyn chrome neck covers: nothing but non-functional bling.

I'm grateful for the remarks about the dipstick. I'll mark that off my list.

I LOVE my push button fuel thingy,,,,but thanks for the heads up that I need to lube it. Been on for 2 years and I never lubed it and fortunately have not had any problems with it.

Yup..........I agree. 4" windshield killed my ears and made my glasses bounce........put the wind right in my face. It only lasted 1 ride, then it was off and given away for free.

So far, everything is used. Have a Clearview 12" re-curve windshield and 1" floor board extensions on order. Hopefully I won't be adding to this list in a couple weeks.

I've had my Oil temp/level dipstick for over 3 years with no problems at all. It is very accurate on the level, and it's great to see what the oil temp is with just a push of the button.

But I will say I've heard of a lot of people who have had nothing but problems with them.
