I would say either cruise control or rider backrest. They make a long trip that much more enjoyable.

corbin solo seat for me, or when using my sundowner, it's the mustang backrest for sure!
I only wish I could make the mustang backrest fit the corbin seat!
The corbin backrest doesn't fit well with my back, tried all adjustments it is just curved
wrong for me, should have gone with their larger one, or I might try one of these

I look at cruise control as as "option", not an accessory. Guess it's how you define the difference. Anyway.......... if I could have only one option/accessory it would be cruise control. If we're talking chrome add-ons, then it has to be the fender skirt replacement piece, because the stock fender skirt on touring motorcycles is butt ugly (IMO).
