Finally, I have decided to make a compilation of all the accessories I have brought, and yet to buy (3 more to go) .
I own a Series 1, for which I took the delivery on 23/12/2020. The list had already begun to expand (courtesy : this forum ).
Lets start with -
1 - Keychain
Source - Buy-LAUNCH-KEY-keychain| 100kmph
It had to be this keychain after experiencing WARP mode. Period.
Price - 99/- + 50/- (Shipping) - 149/-
My spare key has Hemanth’s famous template. I tried to keep them in my jeans pocket for 2 days, but I sensed it, not long before it gets destroyed by me.

3 - Blind spot mirrors (I call them life-savers)

Price : 299/-
4 - Nano-Tempered glass
Source - @Rajavel , IMO I found these to be the best and sleek, not even noticeable. Installed them myself.
Price - 825/- for 2 nos.
5 - Acrylic case for the Dot
Source - Devi Plates - Computerised Engraving - in Chickpet, Bengaluru. (Contact Mr. Prabu)
This has been extensively covered on my thread - Acrylic case for the Ather Dot
Price - 1500/- appox.
6 - Cover - As rightly said by @rajeshkav, Aprilla SR150 Cover has fit my scooter very well.
Source - Amazon
Price - 299/-
7 - Krithi Car care - Hexis PPF
Excluding the back domes (Since they will be exchanged for translucent ones in March’ 21) , It got PPF’d in the front and sides (Foot-rest area)
I know this deserves a post of its own, And I shall try to cover it extensively soon ! Overall I would say superb job done by them. Please DM Krithi Car care on Insta or call them (Quicker) for prices as it wouldn’t be fair to reveal prices here and every vehicle is different.
8 - Wipro 16A Smart plug
Source - Amazon (God, ya’ll must be wondering by now how much I surf Amazon ! )
.
This functions the same way as @bharath5408 has shown on this forum before! Great accessory I must say!
Shows wonderfully how many units has my scooter consumed month-wise. Look out for offers and be patient to buy at a good price !
Price - 956/-
9 - Seat cover -
On 24th of Dec, the very next day after delivery, The seat had torn slightly - thanks to the neighborhood cat . Decided it needed a seat cover ASAP. Brought a same patterned seat cover as the original to retain the look. No red, nothing fancy. Now I cover my seat cover with an old thick cloth.
Price - 300/-

Why are they SO EVIL? Anyways, Moving on
10 - Handle grips - ProTaper - more like ProFail
Well I wanted to put handle grips (Purely aesthetic, The Ather ones are great as well !) and ordered great looking ones (IMO), until I read on the forum, Neither Ather installs aftermarket grips during service, nor can one simple do it, without risking to destroy the original ones.
So they now lay idle until someone “vandalizes” my grips (God-forbid not !)

Price - 299/-
11 - Orbiz Number plate -
This was another fail. They are supposed to imprint the white letters on the green embossed number plate, instead they stick radium stickers on the embossed part. 2 washes and all my letters are going to peel off. Stupidity at its peak, for such a huge company. Thinking of getting a refund. Already spoke to them over whatsapp, they say its standard practice for green plates. May send them back for refund, or paint letter like @hemanth.anand

Price - 440/- after discount
12 - Number plate frame holder
Disclaimer - Read it once. Read it twice. I do not know what are the consequences of fixing clear, super visible number plates over HSRP.
I hated HSRP number plates from day 1. Moreover, Ather got my back number plate rivetted crooked. . And i’m kinda OCD’ish. Not cool, Ather.
I love clean, Screwless look as well. (P.s the Number is my year of birth )
I had to get the Orbiz ones. But not at the cost of breaking the rivettes. That’s plain stupidity. So instead, I asked ather if they could give me an additional front number plate holder - And voila :
Then - fixed my number plate frame + the Orbiz Number plate :
Front -
Now for the back - I am stuck, even the number plate holder is rivetted. I always visioned the trellis frame having an asthetic tail, not a plastic mudguard. And and behold - I found something called Tail Tidy on amazon -
Price - 995/-
So the effort began, and its result yielded to this -
Well lets see how this survives, and how long before install back my mudguard. (Real test - Wet roads )
. All in good spirit of doing mods to make your vehicle truly your own.
Now the HSRP plates rests (in peace) with its companion, in my overhead trunk, - The saree guard.
Upcoming purchases -
- Gloves - Didn’t feel the need, But if anybody have great ones, link or shop address would be appreciated !
- Paddock stand (Incase you have notice, it rests on a block of wood for now (Thanks to its side stand angle)
- Helmet - Still deciding whether Ather smart helmet (Releasing in March '21) worth it or to go ahead with MT thunderbird
Mat - Still deciding does it need one or not. Will be visiting Balaji Automobiles, as mentioned on this thread numerous times, that they have the exact fitting Foot-mat for Ather
Will add in future how the Tail tidy holds up!
Fin.
