Top Ten Mods & Accessories

[Biker Mike]

Anyone want to start the ball rolling on this:
I'll tabulate the incoming data.
All I need to know is the bike model and the description and make of the option fitted (e.g. CBF1000FA:hugger:Red Fox).
If the item turned out to be a load of rubbish, please state Bad Buy (see below)
Table will be sorted on popularity.
Items can cover anything fitted permanently or semi-permanently to the bike (not clothing please).
Let's see how this goes....


Ok - Thanks for the early feedback.
As a result, I'm expanding this a little.

I would ask that you rate the bits you've fitted as follows:

RATING (and typical technical description)
1 = What a load of *!?*
2 = Naff, generally disappointed.
3 = OK, but nothing to write home about.
4 = Good - would recommend to a mate.
5 = Excellent, bees knees, highly recommended.

(and don't forget to give the manufacturer please).

I have a Givi top box, rear hugger, fenda extenda. All good.
Just got a givi screen, but not fitted yet so can't really say how good it is.
Tyres - Pilot Sport 2's. Excellent
Hein Gericke magnetic mini tank bag with sat nav holder is a bit fiddly and a hassle to carry around with you. Better of with a sat nav bracket and ditch the tank bag for a top box.

Woops!. I meant Pilot ROAD 2's

mk 2.
full luggage (is that 3?) - Honda stuff. Not as big as Givi but acceptable for 2 weeks holiday. 4 out of 5.
crash protectors. R&G. Essential. 5 out of 5.
heated grips. Oxford Sports. 4 out of 5.
Autocom. 5 out of 5.
satnav. Garmin Zumo 550. 4 out of 5.
mra screen. 4 out of 5.

that's about it. I don't think a hugger is that essential. Mine is a Skidmarx - 4 out of 5 (it's white, the worst colour).

Honda genuine hugger 1/5 rubbish, too short, stops nothing and encourages chain wash.
