I thought it would be fun to create a page dedicated to motor scooter modifications. So... what scooter modifications have you made that have improved on the looks, functionality or power of your scooter?

I've been getting some contributions in other pages about changes folks have made to their scoots. Seems some of you really like to tinker! So, I thought it might be fun to create a dedicated page just for scooter mods.
So, come on, tell us what you've done... you know you want to!
What have you done to your scooter to make it even better than it was the day you bought it? Have you added a topcase? Bought a custom seat cover? Affixed a stereo system? Whatever, you've done... please share it with our community!
