$1.49 black plastic and simulated chrome face digital clock with self-adhesive base stuck on top of the steering tube nut to tell what time it is without pulling a cell phone out of my pocket
(looking at a cell phone while riding looks kinda stupid and no, I don't work "by the hour", so I don't wear no stinkin watch)

RE: Best mod for under $50
I wanted an old school looking air cleaner. FREE
Went into my cupboard and found these:
Looks better on the bike:
Wanted a fork bag, but didn't want to strap it onto my triple clamp so I bought a hinge and welded it. Since the pic,I have cut off the round hinge part after welding the flat pieces together. $3.00 to $4.00
Cut a slot in the bag for the mount and bolted it together.
Bolted it under the triple clamp using existing bolts and some washers to space it right...over a year and still working fine.
Wanted to fill in the tail light hole and change up the looks. FREE
Cut a metal piece to fill the hole from behind and riveted it in place...holes drilled for new plate mount.
Can't even see the hack work:
Tank graphics for $14.00...clearcoat for $50:
Chromed console for $125. Not under $50 but looks like a million!

I like it there. Picture below, I marked the horn with a red dot.
Got a picture of your setup?? I'd like to see it.

Probably a whole lot more I'm not thinking of right now. I'm a cheap yankee SOB, so I seldom pay much for anything except the bike (!) and even then I got $1500 knocked off list and no set-up or tranportation charges!
