From what I've noticed...

For the bike:
Tank pads
Fender eliminators
Double bubble windscreens
Noisy exhaust
Frame sliders/oggy knobs/crash bungs
Huggers
Radar
Anything that's made from carbon or looks like it's made from carbon
Most desirable IMO: Ohlins


For the Rider:
Tinted or Iridium Visors
Helmet with flash graphics
Leather Jacket
Kevlar Jeans
2 piece leather suits
Most desirable IMO: Leather suits (a 1 piece and a 2 piece) followed closely by back protector

Things I no longer see very often, thankfully:
Stick on helmet Mohawk
Rim tape
Race stickers (unless on a race bike)...although a mate has a "Lucky Strike" Suzuki scooter for his runabout which is hard case
Handlebar Tassels

I know it's not specifically a bike accessory, but I recon the most commonly bought accessory, would be a tinted/iridium visor.

As for the most desired, I recon suspension upgrades. (most expensive is usually the most desired)

[Motu]

Handle bars - I always change the bars on whatever bike I have.

[cc rider]

Me - a new rear tyre for the trumpy... it's first.

Most popular accessories I do

Bikes
Tyres - yes they are sold as an accessory
Bark Busters
Alarms & locks
Luggage & racks

Riders
Leathers - 1 or 2 piece
Kevlar jeans
Helmets - graphics
MX pressure/body armour suits
Boots
Visors - Tint & Iridium
Cameras
A lot of riders are now upgrading the quality of what they are buying. Safety being their main comment.

I know... you just have to try on ALL the new gear. For better understanding of product of course. Let alone all the good bits for the bike to drool over. But luckily I don't need (sorry about the swearing) any.

It is my real job

[Ratti]

handle bar tassles! brilliant idea! just what Ratti needs to finish his new look. well I might go with pompoms actually. as the new look involves cutting up a crochet peggy square blanky to cover the shiny bits....
thanks for the inspiration!

In order of importance when I bought my first VStrom:

Hard Luggage (Givi)
Scottoiler
Center Stand
Radar detector
Madstad windscreen bracket
GPS
Speedo healer
Sheepskin seat cover

[vifferman]

I'd say an aftermarket muffler would be the most common and first accessory most people think of.

The VFR has a long list of accessories: Staintune muffler, Ventura packrack, Ventura headlight cover, R/R fan, Blue Seas accessory fuse box, bigger AH battery, garage door opener button, brighter bulbs, speedo corrector, Factory Pro Evo Star shifter kit, Ariete 80-degree valve stems, Honda Civic wheelnuts, carbon fibre tank pad cover, carbon fibre indicator blanking plates, flush-mount indicators, Unifilter air filter, modified single-cowl seat cover, Elka 2-way rear shock with remote reservoir, Ohlins fork springs, Ohlins/Raceteck/CKT fork internals, heated grips, manual radiator fan switch, lightened footpeg mounts (got them for free after I trashed the original ones), triple horns (OEM and dual Fiamms), Power Commander PCII, modified wiring loom, lower gearing, modified chain guard, rear hugger (not fitted yet), accessory plug (cigarette lighter socket on a 1m cord), ... hmmmm... I think that's all. So far....

Most Useful: Seatbag. I use it every ride. Closely followed by Paddock Stand. Makes tyre and chain maintenance a doddle.

Coolest: Two Bros can. Sounds MUCH more betterer.

Most Comfortable: Heated grips.

Safest: Race Tech emulators and springs.

Most fun: Stebel magnum horn. Frightens shit out of push-bikers...

Most Essential: Mini air compressor for tyre pumping when you get a flattie a million miles from nowhere. Way better than compressed CO2 cylinders.

Most Useless: ATC2K vid camera. Crap quality movies.

[Resto lad]

Noisy can, better headlights, michelin tyres, heated grips.

[LBD]

My latest toy already comes with termis and ecu so my first purchase is a slipper clutch and a radar mount. Yet to come is a rear bag and radiator/oil cooler guards....and a pair of BT016 tires...and in September I get to ride it.
