Top ten modifications?

[gingerbeemer08]

Hello all,
I have a fairly standard 1150GSA (2004) in silver and apart from a touring screen and luggage its a bit naked!
Although I dont want to pimp it up too much, I was just looking for some (tastefull) ideas for modifications to enhance its looks and capabilities.
Any ideas or pics would be great.
I commute 85 miles a day on it and do roughly one or two long distance tours a year.
Cheers!

Upgrade the lights. Do a search for "BTBR lights".

Hmmm top ten but bin no particular order
1 Lights
2 Seat
3 Footrests
4 Bar risers
5 MRA screen with tobinators
6 Decent head guards or crash bars
7 If servo/abs remove it
8 Ice hockey puck on sidestand
9 Loud horn
10 Baglux tank cover

Then the real bling starts

I can't think of ten, but upgrading the lights number one on my list, the OE lights are positively dangerous.

Cheers guys, some great ideas.
Unfortunately the morning after posting the original question, some women from "Ididntseeyou.com" decided to do a U-turn from stationary traffic in front of me when filtering.......Ouch!
Hopefully its not written off but there was a fair bit of damage to the front end (not to mention me!).
A bit off topic but am I right in my assumtion that she performed an illegal road maneovre?
