Next Buy?

ok so i was thinking about buying some new stuff i can buy one thing though this week and im not sure what it should be i was thinking about a double bubble, integrated tail light, flush mounts, mirror with turn signals but im not sure what i should get next? what do you guys think?
basically what im asking is do you guys think i can find more than one thing instead of just getting one and whats worth actually getting? i heard the double bubble is a great thing to get and wondering if anyone has an experience with it good or bad.

I like the concept of mirrors with turn signals. Was it just the particular brand of mirror you bought that was rubbish?

I SAW A thread when I first joined of an installlation for a fender eliminator. Not sure what brand it was but I am sure the knowledge is here. Post a thread asking for it and I am sure you shall receive. I'm not very technically inclined. In fact I am coming up on 2k miles and don't know how to do an oil change yet and as someone mentioned earlier I need to lube my chain up too. Guess ill be asking for a couple of dyi posts myself.

Yeah those are the same brand, just non-"carbon fiber"

I was wondering which ones he got, in case they were the crappy ones he was referring to.

oh youre talking the front turn signals no were talking the rear turn signals the front best you could do is the little leds that go near the wheel or get the flush mounts... but integrated into the head light isnt that crazy is it?

I say track day or riding gear. Those will either improve your skills or comfort/safety level.
