* a black GIVI top case with a small flag mounted to it for a little extra visibility
* the Genuine windshield/windscreen
* a RAM-style wireless charging phone mount attached to the left mirror stalk base
* "Space Force" pins mounted to rubber plugs put in place of the holes in the front where a PO had mounted a cheap black basket
* the front "deadlights" replaced with white LEDs and wired into the ignition switch
* headlight bulb replaced with an LED, a significant improvement
* thumbscrews replacing the screws holding the helmet carrier in place under the seat, so no tools are required to get at the carb
* a stick-on LCD clock/thermometer on the right side of the handlebar surround

These are standard items on sailboat hatches, which is from where I got the idea.

Where did you find the thumbscrews. Like the idea not having to use tools every time I need to remove the pet cage. Thanks.

What LED's did you order? Me and my wife just bought 2 Buddy 50's and i'm looking to replace the Headlights, Deadlights(just received wiring harness's) and rear tail lights for more visibility. Thank you!
