Tassels? People seem to enjoy my little kids tricycle handlebar tassels, and I do too!
Skulls? My used dyna came with about 18 of 'em on everything from the air cleaner to axle covers. My wife likes them, I'm slowly getting used to them. Not anything I would have put on myself.
But the wife hates my handlebar tassels. I bought a pretty pink set for her bike, but she has forbidden me to put them on.
The cool thing about the little kids tassels is that you can almost see people musing,
"Is that the latest and greatest thing, and I'm just not up to speed, or is that guy just a hopeless dork?"

Let's see, where does the list start...
Apes (they look good on some bikes, not on Dynas/FXRs IMO...)
Lowering anything (I threw out a set of lowering shocks for stock ones, rode like crap and scraped on every little turn)
Radius-style exhausts (for choppers, not Dynas/FXRs, IMO...)
Hypercharger-style air cleaner
Tassels, wolves, skulls, whips, etc
Anything with studs (rather not be confused for a Village People member)
Cheap quality tires and brake parts (probably the two most important things on a bike, why cheap out to save a few bucks?)
Half helmets (I go on the bike wearing a helmet, so it's gotta count, right? My face is bad enough, doesn't need any help from the pavement)
I'm sure more will come to me later...

Probably, but that's why Big Orange makes different models. If I wanted a bike that would haul apassenger, luggage, souvenirs, etc. across the country in comfort I definitely would NOT buy a Dyna.

I always thought Mini-apes looked great on a Dyna:
