The Clocks4Bikes.com clock is awesome. I've had mine for almost 2 1/2 years now.
Cant pick just one "best accessory". It would be one of these:
The Clocks4Bikes.com clock
Fishtail Pipes
LED Turn Signal Light Strips
The Yamaha Mirrors
The Sissy Bar/Luggage Rack (gets used daily)
Spiked Choke Knob
Spiked Oil Cap
Spiked Axle Covers
Soren

toss up between my bars and risers for comfort or the stretched billet headlight for night driving. Lights up the road much better.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Best accessory? It would make my bike the best thing on the road and improve my disposition and ride no matter if it was raining or sunny cold or warm and I wish I had it on there every time I rode. But I can't put it on my bike. Yep, sadly that would be my wife because she cannot ride because of her health. I miss that more than anything when it comes to riding. So...I have to settle for Chrome and decals and things that make it go fast. But in second place is my British Flag Brake Reservoir Decal! Shameless Plug. eddy

After serious thought...
It depends which of my bikes you are looking at.
The 03 - the twin disked spoked front wheel.
The 06 - the foot boards. Closely followed by the 07 sprocket cover.

Hmm.
Nobody giving a nod to Pingel.
That'd have to be pretty high on my list.
Nice piece of equipment.
Maybe not an "accessory" as some would see it, though.

The best thing I've ever put on my bike is my butt
The second thing would have to be a toss up between the de-baffeled TORs or the vizor turn signals
