    Stuff in the $200 range... The top trunk and Frunk-liners give a nicer finished feel to the bike...

    Baker Air Wings & Digital Voltmeter are the two primary mods that added the greatest functional value to me. I have probably 5-6 more sub $100.00 mods, but they are more cosmetic in nature.

    IPS key cover.....or....... SPYDERPOPS bump-skid plate. For my area I think the plate will be the best investment.

    Very easy install. Replace a stock bolt with a bracket bolt, attach a plate with adhesive backing to the top of the Can Am logo on your lower panel and that is it.
