Mine was the seat. I replaced it with a Corbin. My ass has been very happy ever since.  Thumbsup

It's not the destination, but the journey, that counts. A sport-tourer's ride between two points is seldom a straight line. He will often seek the most convoluted route possible.

ST.N sticker went on the DL650 before the warning stickers came off.

I changed a lot of things at once, handlebars, seat, exhaust, mirrors and almost 20 years later added a Superbrace fork brace.

Gas tank protector.  I didn't enjoy the bike until it had one.  I wasn't sitting on the bike in a natural position and the ergonomics weren't.  I added the rear tail trunk second and then finally changed the seat.

When I bought my bike it had a corbin on it already.
I didn’t know they sold aftermarket windshields or exhaust nor that I wanted them.
Nobody makes luggage for it besides Triumph.

So it’s a tie between Grips and a Tank Protector

Ordered a Givi E460 trunk first.....  while waiting for that to arrive (4 weeks) I won a used Yosh bolt-on muffler on eBay.  Both items arrived the same day - exhaust went on first as it was the quicker install.

Needless to say I now have a different exhaust, but still got the E460 and it's probably the most useful item on the bike.

Guys,
The electronics was the closest to what I did do.....I have an ST1300, I added some PIAA 004XT lights directly to the fork legs...man what a difference. Later I did install a blue sea fuse box for the other electronics I have since added.
I am seriously trying not to put a lot of extras on this bike....only thing I really want is a new seat....Corbin,Sargent, who knows but I need a different one for long distancec riding.....
