In the real world, riding, it is my little throttle lock contraption that lets me do long rides with my cramping prone hands. In the garage, my lift table.

You all are either too kind or I am too picky.

I can see improvements in everything related to motorcycles.

For instance, ROK straps are great when you are using them near fully extended, but when you use them on smaller items there is too much slack strap that you have to do something with.  A Velcro cord minder is needed to hold that slack strap from flopping around and going places it shouldn't. 

Gore-tex is a 10 material, but the application is at most a 9 unless you are getting custom tailored gear.  I have yet to see an aerostich on a rider that looks tailored.

Cramp buster.
Unmitigated risk aversion is the new Puritanism; complete with witch hunts funny outfits and humorless preachers thundering doom. The Deity is Safety; Satan is a Lawyer; but the object is the same: to suck the life out of life and tell you how to live it.
