A front stick replacement for tandem RVs shaped like an inverted question mark ? With the bow forward. This will minimize interference of the stick with the pilot legs when full aileron deflection is required.

We made our own, or I should say our local metalworker made them.

How about a really cool teardrop-shaped exterior latch for the canopy? The Van's-supplied one is decent, but I like the idea of one that's rounded and polished. (I could attempt to shape it myself, but I'm guessing the results would look less than professional!)

I think the landing gear jack attachment thing would be great too!
... Something like this only for motorcycles?.

No, I was thinking about the kind that mounts on the rear bumper. I think the wind drag on that one would make it a no-go.
