I see a lot of LED's in this list. LED's have come along way the past couple years not only in quality but the way they are packaged for resale. I recently saw entire 16 foot rolls of LED strips selling for less than $30.
16 feet of LED lights could make a lot of farkles for $30.

Anyone with cheap DIY LED installs used a roll of lights like this?

They have to be waterproof. There are rolls with 150, 300 and 600 LEDs per roll. I haven't used them for my Spyder but do use them for acrylic edge lit signs. You can get them on EBay from US sellers for considerably less than $30

​Nope , didn't buy any 16 foot rolls .....and where I live ( Vermont ) if the lights arn't considered as qualifying as marker lights or Brake lights or Fog lights etc......then they are DECORATIVE..... and that's a No No ......Mike

I'm surprised no one has mentioned backward or side facing cameras on their Spyder. They have come down in price considerably for DIY'ers and I had heard somewhere that they may be required for cars in the near future.

Grip Puppies, a MC club license plate bracket, and a crampbuster are the only sub $100 items that I can think of.

Baja Ron sway bar. It turned my 2012 RT into a completely different machine. I recommend this to everyone.

oops. My bad. That's over $100.

Are those LED's? Were they a kit?

I just ordered one of those X-Grips and the misc parts to get it attached. Should be here today.

Yes led daytime running lights you can get on eBay or Amazon for under $10.20141106_182111_HDR.jpg

Tricled foam grip covers, Spyderflap, and a Throttle jockey 2, combined price, around $65.00. I prefer the Throttle jockey to the Cramp Buster, it doesn't slip, every Cramp Buster I had did.

Soooo many good ideas - practical, safety, and comfort related. I've already placed orders for some stuff and have a nice list of must haves in my wishlist.
I hope people will keep adding to this thread.

. . . The problem I had with the grip buddies, puppies, etc... is they do wear out pretty quickly. I had worn mine out in about 6 months of riding almost every day to work and back.

Bob

I made my own. I bought a can of wetsuit cement (neoprene glue) from eBay. I had some scrap wetsuit material (but that is also available on eBay) . . . Very easy to make, and when they wear out, I toss them and make another set . . .
