Just a thought to help the newer owners, rank the best mods or accessories you've done 1-5.
1 = Best, recommended
3 = Ok
5 = little value
...Keeping it generic as to not bash any particular brands.

MOD=.....something you made....
Accessories =....something you bought...
& added...
IMO....not dogging anyone..
that's just my interpretation. ..
....giving props to those...that
have built....anyone can add...an
accessory. ..like me...

Stand corrected, Intended for both mods and accessories like this category, just thinking about when I got mine and was trying to get the best bang for the buck, or effort.

Not sure..on the p5

I'd list them as needs/1, wants/3 and would be nice to haves/5. I've honestly done too many to remember them all and some depend on your particular needs. You've gotta have a roof/1. Bigger tires, spreading the stance and removing the sway bar make a huge difference in ride and stability/1. Need a winch for plowing or if you get stuck/1. Noise/heat barrier helps with the comfort level/3. The rest is all bling and creature comforts really/5. You can ride without LED lights, stereo and box for storage but they're nice to have.

Can't argue with any of that. My thoughts exactly.

In my book one of the best mods that I did was adding the fender flears and rear fender extensions. View attachment 48271 View attachment 48272 View attachment 48273
NICE! Looks like OEM made it. Very nicely done. I'd like to add those to mine, but I'd tear them off or just wreck them on my first bush-bash. I just tore up two cv boots, and one of my steering rack boots on my last ride.....got snarled up in some old barbed wire fence that wrapped around the axle and wheel while exploring an old overgrown farm trail - what a mess. Sure was fun getting there though!:)
