Battery tender lead - first thing that gets fitted. Then usually a different windscreen.
Re: What’s your favourite modification/addition to your bike
So on my bike.. the slip on can, upgraded sprockets and gearshift indicators were already fitted so I would probably say having the suspension set up is the best thing I’ve done so far

At this time of year, definitely heated grips. Also like a gear indicator, but otherwise, don't do too much to mine.

I suppose my favourite addition to my bike was called Sarah years ago , still see her occasionally and still kick myself for letting her go so easily but hey ho , but now a higher screen and road tyres on the street scrambler type thing

On the ZH2 it has to be replacing the awful stock rear shock with a Nitron unit and then getting the suspenders set up.
old and disgraceful so doing what I can while I can before I can't

Re: What’s your favourite modification/addition to your bike
For me there were the factory fit upgrades where think would be things like quick shifter and auto blipper and heated grips. But for after market mod has got to be the Lextek end can which is just audio porn.

Aftermarket clip ons. For me they make a huge difference in comfort and leverage.
Second would be rearsets, always found the slippery factory ones a pain.

I guess that would be the full Akrapovič system and remap - liberates quite a bit of horsepower and sharpens up throttle response. Looks and sounds nice too.

Heated grips and just putting quad locks on the fleet which will make phone holding a lot easier than the hotchpotch of holders I currently use.
