Favorite Old Accessories

[kngtmat]

What was some of your favorite old accessories including the company names?

One of mine was the Bikextras from Cycle Products Co parts like the headlight & the cheap tin turn signals, Western Auto's bike parts, I also like that Wham-O wheelie bar that I have seen online and some other that I can't remember at the moment.

Esso tiger grips, Vrroom engine and the cheapo turn signals. My Dad put all three on a Sears hand me down for Easter '66.Too cool.

Aero Struts

I have always liked the look of those Aero Struts that brace the handlebar to the front axle.

I realize that they're not for everybody or for every bike, but they were a paperboys best friend.

Nothing will beef up the look and feel of a bicycle like a set of those.

I have seen them made by Wald, Miller and Persons, but I'm sure there were other makers as well.

I like the fake dual exhaust pipes, baseball bat carrier, flag holders....

My old bestest favorite

My old favorite when I was a young man, a hot twenty-two year old in a bikini, on the handle bars, on the boardwalk. THAT is a memorable accessory.

Not speedos as I have sold every one I have come across for whatever reason, they just don't do it for me.
Do license plates count?
As long as they are not affixed to a fender, it's the ultimate accessory for me.
