Your favorite and least favorite mods
However, NO POWER MODS 
Sorry that is for every other thread. That is ok too and no doubt the #1 mod for those who do it.
I am looking for anything else that you really have gotten good use out of, improved the bike, made your riding time better etc. I also would like to know the good on paper but not so much mods.
I am being very careful not to spend to much. I am weighing all of the ideas and spending once.
This out to be fun!

Good= Bark busters , skid plate are essential in my book. New fork springs made a huge improvement.
Bad= I have a lot of aftermarket stuff on my bike but I can't think of any bad mods at the moment. hmmmmm

Good - Pretty boring; I installed a relay that switches off the headlight while cranking. Removes around 5 amps of current draw handy for hard starting issues.
My Borrego rack & Ventura Imola bag - no more having to wear a back pack while riding.
Not so good - Heidenau K60 rear tyre. Didn't meet expectations; makes the D605 look good on asphalt.
Installing a Speedo Healer; not being able to adjust stock speedo head for factory error.
