I'd say Jackyls tank lift, but he gets enough pub already.

Smoked turn signal kit is a nice touch, maybe a horn cover...or even the "alternate" horn.

Fishing line and Goo Gone to remove relectors & tank badges - $0 (already had both)
Tank Lift Kit 2-1/4" from Rude Dog - $20
Dyna 07 Service Manual - under $48 on sale at dealer
K&N air filter - approx $44
Exhaust wrap from Thermo-Tec - under $50
Tool Bag braided leather 12x4x4 on ebay - $13

Prices approx as best I can remember.

Probably a whole lot more I'm not thinking of right now. I'm a cheap yankee SOB, so I seldom pay much for anything except the bike (!) and even then I got $1500 knocked off list and no set-up or tranportation charges!

damn, you guys beat me to it. thecoolest mods in my poinion, are the free ones, taking stuff off, reflectors should be the first thing to go! aesthestically, the best mod i made was pulling offthe turn signals... of course its not the safest, but it looks cool. rear signals are in the tailight and im working on some new fronts. i would say, again for looks, the balck evo nighttrain air cleaner cover made a big difference, as did the black primary cover and black horn cover. each of those is under 50 bucks.

For about $50 you can get a stripper to ride with you for an hour.
