I ride a variety of bikes.
I'm not one who is inclined to add accessories.
I did recently purchase an OEM backrest for my Rebel 450 = $40.
Didn't need it, but the look is rather incomplete without it.
My Helix is ready for maintenance items, oil, rear tire, belt, exhaust flange gasket.
Those are the items that will get my next round of purchase.

I am almost embarrassed to reply to this one as the answer is so obvious. Go to Dollar General and buy one of these for $6. They come in three sizes. Throw away their handles and paint them to match your scooter or simply use white for chrome racks or black for black racks. Add a bungie net for another $10, and you are good to go. I generally get the medium sized ones, although large is sometimes good, and small is best for the back rack of a TG50. All of these in this photo are the medium sized ones.

Want a really huge trunk, go with a TBOX-JK2016-K. Those come in at just under $50, but they are HUGE. I own 2 of them, You can fit 2 helmets, or a good amount of groceries in them

Other accessories that come in under $50, would be things like windshields:
