Brake light flashers on my tourpack from signal dynamics. Costs $29.00. When anyone tailgates I touch the brake and they back off. It has probably safed my a$$ many times when stopped at a light. They blink 3 times then hold steady then blink 3 times then repeats until you let go of the brake.

I vented the crankcase on my Harley to the ground with a piece of chrome toilet tubing. Looks great and it only cost about $5.
I built a 2" longer swingarm for my Sportster last winter for under about $40.

Rear suspension air-valve relocator kit for $29. Not only did it cure a leak I had from the factory, it allows me to add another cheap DIY mod.....bolting or locking my bags. I can do both without one interfering with the other.
