This tread is funny...some of the products I have seen (friends of ours have the Butty Buddy and love it), but others HAVE to be fake (the trailer OD thing for example). But then again, I can see someone out there buying that!!

Soooo ... there are people out there that will depreciate the value of their bikes just to wear a BS mileage badge of honor? Un-F'ing-Believable! Can you see them telling this to potential buyers when trying to sell the bike? Sure, it says 114,000 on the clock, but 90,000 were done while on the trailer. The bike only has 24,000 real miles ... 
Hey maybe we can auction off some hi mileage speedometers on eBay. A used speedo with about 250,000 miles should sell for a bundle ... to the just right chump.

I read through most of this just to see if there was going to be a pic of the barbed wire and eagle talon seat.

A golf ball pushed all the way down into the corner of your back pocket next to the crack of your *** will accomplish the same thing and it costs almost nothing. 
Just jam it down into you rear pocket, have your woman jump on and say to her, "pull up real close, it's going to be a rough ride".
by the time you get to where you're going she'll be jumping your bones.
(Tongue in cheek guys, it's an old biker joke)

I have had good luck with telling her to squeeze a tennis ball between her legs.

in support of GPS
GPS has little appeal to those riders who rarely go anywhere new and who, when they do get away, are accustomed to getting lost. 
Form follows function. The most useless piece of gear on a bike is that whose appearance makes clear that its sole function was purely ornamental, to impress, that it otherwise served no particular purpose to have been designed in that manner.

This shotgun guard is odd looking and the barrel is pointing at the rider so its like your bike is saying "keep going or you'll get one in the leg!"
Anyway, at least it performs a function and is really just a novelty piece. Ive seen grenade foot pegs, thermometers (like you dont know when its hot or cold when you are riding?) Zombie shift arm covers...etc No matter what they make there will always be one guy who thinks its the baddest thing on his bike.
I dont have one but sometimes I am pretty jealous of those cup holder guys when its 95 out and Im sweating ***** in leather without a damn thing to drink.
