I don't have a RT but the first two would be Elkas and a sway bar on any 2008 through 2012.

(1) Third brake light
(2) LED mud flap turn signals
(3) Front & rear LED side lights
(4) Right side radiator block off plate
(5) Bajaron's Sway Bar
My suggestions are based on safety, suggesting doing additional lights, the block off plate so you get some relief on your right foot during hot weather and lastly, the sway bar that will make the bike be much safer in emergency situations and overall riding stability.
Let the Mods begin .........

These are the top five mods that I have made to my RT to make my ride more enjoyable/comfortable on longer trips:
- Utopia Driver's Back Rest (The number one mod for the long haul)
- Floorboards (Allows for more foot positions)
- Baker Air Wings (Directs air where you need it)
- Elka Shocks (Keeps the RT much more stable in the wind and tight corners)
- Sheepskin Seat Cover (cooler in summer/warmer in winter)
There are any number of other mods that you can make to your RT to make it more comfortable for you while on long trips. Much depends on what you value as a rider while on longer trips. I also consider my extra lighting to be very important (both front and back), but that mod applies to more than just long trips.

As you can see, everyone has his or her own set of priorities. Ride a while and see what you crave or need...then make your own list.

Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally
Just sayin'............
