Last Sunday I got the ’05 ZG100 Conc out. Checked the tire pressure, oil, turn signals, and made sure no rodents had taken up residence. Started right up.

Last year I had a Signal Dynamics BackOFF Brake Light Signal Module installed. Not much more to say than “it just works” and more importantly it has never let me down. My riding is more around cars and highway traffic than other motorcycles, so it is more than worth its price.
Last year I picked up a nice used Givi trunk for the Conc. Installation was trivial.
Last year Murphs tip over bars got installed on my Conc. Contrary to popular belief, they only handles tip-overs. The guys who installed it said it was relatively easy. BTW: No that is not my bike cover in the grass, it is someone else’s.
Last year I bought a greenlight trigger from Green Light Products. Installation was easy; I left it clamped overnight. Does it work? Yes, definitely. The only problem is at history has shown me, I don’t seen to actually use many intersections that utilize this approach for changing lights :).
