I know this is going to sound like I'm taking the p**s, but the best way to get extras thrown in is to ask. I got a lock and bar-ends thrown in, but then again the owner treated me as if I was something on the bottom of his shoe when I first walked in, so maybe he was trying to make amends.
It didn't work, I've never been back.
