Racks- I prefer a rear rack because I hate the look of front racks, but that's just me (idk if they have it online but they make a cute feaux-wicker basket in either brown or black to go on the front instead of a rack)
I got a rear rack and bungee'd a plastic crate onto in like many people do... I found that the open top of a crate was more useful for my purposes than a topcase for carrying things... I had a bungee net to put over the top and some extra single bungee strings.
Windshield- I personally think they are invaluable. The Cuppini short is a great one for the Buddy; it will help out with rain and wind AND BUGS (ew) without being too tall for the summer heat.
Slipstream is also a great brand for windscreens,
the website has terrible pictures, all their windscreens look boxy and flat in their head-on photos, but
this thread has a side view (scroll down a bit for it); they have great contouring and seem to get really good reviews.
Crashbars/Footpegs- I couldn't afford crashbars at purchase and didn't like the look, I decided I'd maybe add them later; I did, however, add passenger footpegs because my guy and I ride 2 up on each other's scoots a lot, and I was hoping at least one of my sisters or some of our friends would ride sometimes with me eventually. IMO opinion, without the footpegs, riding on the back of the Buddy is a bit weird, and I'm not the only one... both of my sisters first words on the back of my 170 were an incredulous "Where do I put my feet?!"
I won't lie, the footpegs are obnoxious; if you are like me and stand with your legs in the right (wrong?) position while stopped, they poke you in the calves and will leave bruises, even; but if you don't anticipate a passenger they easily unbolt. I was about to unbolt them indefinitely when I had to lay it down to stop short for a car that didn't signal for a sudden left turn, and I came to find out that the 2 or so inches that the pegs stick out on each side also act as crash bars and car save your Buddy from damage. I left my footpegs on from then on regardless of my legs and they continued to prove their worth in such a manner.
Luggage/Saddlebags- For more carrying space, I had saddlebags on my Buddy. The ones I had were Prima bags; they are like $150 msrp, expensive if you ask me; I got them for $55 from Craigslist. But there's a thread about other, cheaper saddlebags that will fit Genuine scoots up right now-
it is here.
For those who don't put topcases OR crates on their rear racks, there are roll bags... pretty sure those are carried on the Scooterworks website, but again, I think they are Prima brand, and you could probably find much cheaper ones out there that are just as good.
Accessories- The Gen-U-Bin is something that many people like; I found it unnecessary, myself. I got stuff like a RAMMount Gps mount, a Tucano Urbano lap cover, etc.
Here's pics of my scoot if you want to see some of the stuff I'm talking about:
The lap cover, windshield, crate/rear rack:
Pic with the pegs:
Pic of the pegs after the crash where I broke my hand... you can kind of see how the pegs took all the damage for that side of the scoot:
The RAMMount (rammount.com if you like it- not a scooterworks thing):
