Totally pointless things you've bought for your bike?
What have you bought for your ride that you like, that others question?
I don't care if it's $5 or $5000. |

Exhaust. Spent ridiculous amount of money on a slip on that basically gives me warm tingly feelings every time I look at it.
Worth every penny! |

What equals pointless? Does cool only mean pointless?

Most pointless thing would be the stomp grip.
I guess it worked till it got hot and came right off, but that's really more of a maybe. Because I can apparently ride the bike without it just as good. What a waste of $40. |

I don't think so.
People look at things on my bike and refer to them as pointless all the time. Open clutch cover to some seems pointless, but it allows the dry clutch to vent. Exhaust isn't just about sound, so not pointless. Rear-sets are adjustable so my toes don't have a possibility of scuffing the ground. Driven Clip-ons are lighter and the bars are cheaper to replace when they get "sharpened." Floating rotors don't just look good... they allow more contact on the rotor regardless of wear on the pads. Magnesium wheels are lighter than the stock. Shall I continue? I think the only really pointless thing I have had is a cool paint job...
