For like $5 you can get a purpose-built pad for bikes.

I got these and assembly is super strong, it's not moving anywhere. and it's only 16$
I had to replace CRG ARROW because my idiot boss broke them on purpose. Ripped it off with his hand.

I installed these CRG Bar End Mirrors on my 2012 Kawasaki Z1000. Expensive, yes, but the visibility is superb. I highly recommend them. Looks kind of like this
Standard 7/8 Bar end Mirrors , you just take out the silver inner part and clamp it to your handle bar
Hey, bought the mirrors from amazon. there are cheaper options but the quality on the cheaper ones are shit.
To attatch the mirrors it is really helpful to have the right adapter, i bought the ones listed below, and they work great :)

It's all about that safety-bling.
After trying different mirrors I can definitely recommend these. You might end up paying the same amount for a more flimsy bicycle mirror that doesn't hold its position and has vibration issues or has a really small surface area. This particular model has a slight convex reflection, an aero profile, and a light weight compared to a rectangular EMGO type which is heavier, flat reflecting and not at all aero. Torqued down into a suitable handlebar bracket over some electrical tape and it's super solid. I suppose you could mount these inverted (hanging down under a handlebar) assuming clearance is acceptable. I tested odd things like mounting them onto the ends of bar ends but they were simply too far out (in a bad way). The mirror does rotate all the way around at the adjustment stem to accommodate.
Another angle of my ride. Kind of like a walking stick insect or something. I am super safe in traffic and never have a blind spot if the road ends up curving.
Currently a pair of super cheap convex bar end mirrors.
I picked up the cheap ones to see if I would like the location of the mirrors, I liked it and kept it.
For being 15$ they've lasted quite a while and work great. Almost a year now with zero issue.
I just bought some cheapo bar-end mirrors off amazon for my yamaha build... Something like this...
I thought about making something but in the end cheap product with amazon prime shipping won out. Sure a beer can will work but this looks a little better when you pull it out of a bag(or under your seat if you have storage space).

I ordered a few and gave them to friends that said they liked mine.
Thanks! I just put these mirrors on the factory bar end weights. There’s no need for all the adapter crap it comes with.

this one is $70
stock turn signal are huge, get something smaller
I mount one of these cheapy chinesium mirrors off my bar next to my control cluster. Even tightened down it wiggles a lil bit, but its held up to a few loops and whatnot.
Fuck yeah it is! Here you go mang!
Here.. i had to modify the spacers came with. The 7/8’s were too small and i dont like how they wiggled or moving even they are fully tighten. So what i did is dremel the 1” spacer and removing few mm just to fit inside the handlebar then tighten them. Rocksolid and these mirror holds man.. im satisfied.

Bar end mirrors are sweet. I've had success with these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FMTX4M/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_MMZ3tb0E7E8D0

Love them! Lost one in a wreck but they’re very handy and solve the shoulder blind spot issue.
I have the generic round bar-end on my bike. The ones you can get on Amazon for like 15$: https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Handle-Rearview-Mirrors-Harley/dp/B01N6GB7DZ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486662753&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=bar+end+mirrors&psc=1
Rode 1 year. No complaints so far. You have to set them up then tighten them to get them to stay more or less. Vision is good (convex so you see more, might take time to get used to it). Might not be best but cheap and they work.
I also tried these: https://www.amazon.com/Astra-Depot-Adjustable-Motorcycle-Kawasaki/dp/B0083SL82A/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1486662753&sr=8-5&keywords=bar+end+mirrors
Those I would not recommend. You can't see anything with them.
For blinkers I do not know. I know the cheapo ebay or amazon blinkers are very dim. I got some fake rizoma blinkers from aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Motorcycle-Aluminum-LED-Turn-Signal-Light-Indicator-Blinker-Light-Universal-for-rizoma/32772637080.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.11.nzBa4V&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3_10065_10068_10000074_10000032_119_10000025_10000029_430_10000028_10060_10000067_10062_10056_10055_10000062_10054_10059_10099_10000022_10000013_10103_10102_10000016_10096_10000018_10000019_10000056_10000059_10052_10053_10107_10050_10106_10051_10000053_10000007_10000050_10084_10083_10000047_10080_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10114_10115_10000041_10000044_10078_10079_10000038_10073_10000035_10121,searchweb201603_1,afswitch_1,single_sort_3_price_asc&btsid=eb75928c-20ac-4098-8ab1-d7ec76a16e46
Brightness is ok... But they are on the small side. Would get something with the same power LEDs but just more of em. Also the black started fading after a year.
Kind of expensive though, sold as a single unit
Revzilla
Amazon
Prices are about the same on ebay as well but any "bar clamp" mirror should do the trick. I have kind of the same problem on the busa, solid bars so the standard bar end mirrors won't work but these do.
If you're iffy about the price, a lot of guys in my group ride with just one on whichever side they prefer.
I got the oblong ones off amazon but they move in the wind so I had to put hot glue on the back to make them stay. Looks pretty good to me. I can't stand those doofus looking circular ones.

You can kinda see them on my bike

$72 each? I'd try my luck with these $16/pair first:

Pretty much exactly the same apart from the model name on it.
I believe he got this one
Yea I agree with this. You could make it work but the reality is that its just not fun for long stretches on the interstate. By adding a windshield and replacing the rear sprocket on my Drz with a 39 tooth I was able to cruise comfortably a little bit faster. But eventually the commute just turned into a chore and I found myself not riding with my full attention, which led to a few sketchy situations with other commuters. Now i'm commuting in the car until I get a new bike, and keeping the drz for what it does best.
If you just need a little bit, get a Spitfire Slipstreamer. $62 and plenty durable.

I have a buddy who is a machinist, so I had home just machine my bar ends. I thought the stock mirrors were fine till I had these. You can see so much more even though they are smaller.
I purchased these on Amazon to fill those holes.
I got one off amazon for $70. Works well and uses all the factory lights.

I've only done a few things but really my favorite so far is new mirrors, I think the round mirrors ruin the atheistic on a bike which is mostly hard angles, plus I can't see behind me with the stock mirrors.
I use these now

These are the knock-off's of the Triumph mirrors, and they've been installed in my bike for about 4 months now, so far so good. I like that they DON'T say Triumph across the tops of em, my bike already has enough of that going on.
FYI - I bought an even cheaper set of knock-off's, but they were total crap. The fake lane-splitters I had installed previously got put on my Ducati M696 project.
Just a heads up, careful where you leave your bike. That ground looks pretty soft. Especially since its wet, theres a chance the stand could sink and bike will fall over. Same goes for asphalt on a hot summer day.
Something like this may save you from having to pick up your bike.

I am a big fan of these mirrors, only $20. I have not had any issues with rattling or movement while riding. They also look pretty sweet and give a pretty decent view behind you.
Same thoughts here, and no vibrations either. I have these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYZ8GPF/

You definitely sacrifice visibility. At the same time I never rely on mirrors and these don't bother me because I always turn my head regardless.
I like them a lot better. Looks mostly, function is about the same. I could see out of the stock ones fine. Those are Chinese specials I got on amazon for about $30. Look like CRG arrow knock offs and are actually pretty good quality. Came packaged like an Apple product in a nice box and shit. Once I snugged everything on them down good they are pretty sturdy and clear.

You'll also need some M8x1.25 bolts to secure the headlight as well as some steel and rubber washers to keep everything secure.

Disclaimer: these will adjust themselves at high speeds. I have them.
They're actually just some cheapo $20 mirrors from Amazon. They feel pretty solid and they're fairly adjustable though. I'm pretty happy with them!
However, they are quite inexpensive

Thanks! Do you have any pictures of your rack/basket? I've got some bags and a milk crate I was looking to add once the rack for this bike comes back in stock.

These are decent but require a little modification, they beat paying 100 dollars a mirror from CRG. The bearing is a little loose , I just taped it up to give it a little more resistance and works perfectly now.

Pretty generic!
Edit: I took out all of the little adapter things it comes with and just removed the screw from the end of the handle bars and put it there. I can clarify this more if you'd like.
>Running errands: Right now, I take my bike to the grocery store 60% of the time. But an average bike right off the sales floor isn’t equipped for hauling even a small amount of groceries, and if you don’t want to ride back home with your knees banging the shopping bags hanging from your handlebars, you’ll need to add some accessories to your bike before biking your groceries home isn’t a gigantic pain in the ass.
>
> Rack: Pretty simple. Putting a rack on your bike massively extends its utility. You can hang a pannier (more on them later) from the rack instead of using a backpack, keeping your back sweat-free. With the addidion of a bungee cord or more permanent strap system, you can hold things on top of it. If your bike has disc brakes, you may need a wider rack to accommodate the extra wide axle. Also, some bikes with unusual geometry may require extra-long bars for installing the rack. This and the folding basket below are probably the trickiest accessories to install, and where you might be better off having them professionally installed.
>
> Folding basket: This was a major piece of the puzzle for me. I didn’t want my bike permanently widened out with a pair of baskets off the rack. But I also wanted to be prepared to stop and do some shopping on my way home without worrying about how I would carry everything. The folding rack was the perfect solution. When I need it, it unfolds in a couple seconds and I can put stuff in it. When I don’t need it, or space is tight, it folds up quickly and it’s more or less unnoticeable off the side of my bike. It means I can make unexpected stops while on my bike to pick up a few things without having to double back in my car later. I have this Wald one, and it’s very nice. It was quite a pain to install though. Be prepared for a bit of frustration if you go the DIY route. This was the one part of these accessory installs that I used a power tool.
>
> Pannier: I mentioned this one a bit under weather. The one I have and love is this Banjo Brothers waterproof pannier and backpack. It nearly effortlessly turns from one to the other and since it’s waterproof I can take it every time. The first time I biked to a shopping mall, locked my bike up, and turned my pannier to a backpack and went shopping, I felt like a goddamn superhero. This flexibility takes a lot of anxiety out of running errands on my bike.
>
> Water bottle cages: Pretty self-explanatory. Carry water with you when you bike. I have 2 mounted, one on the down tube at a diagonal, and one on the seat tube vertical. I can carry my coffee mug in there without spilling too much. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your second cup of coffee just because you want to bike in.
>
> Compact shopping bags: Not really sure what to call these, other than the brand name I know, Chico Bags. They fold up into a small size and unfold quickly. You can get sling ones to go over your shoulder, or the smaller ones easily go into the folding basket. Just a good thing to with you for unexpected stops.
>
> Kickstand: A lot of people are surprised when bikes don’t automatically come with kickstands. And for a lot of people, a kickstand doesn’t make sense for the kind of riding they do. I am using my bike to commute, and am more interested in convenience than weight. I got a two-legged kickstand for added stability. Keep in mind, not every single bike will accept every kickstand. If you get one with a top plate like this standard one that every bike store carries, it will work for 90% of the bikes you would expect to take a kickstand. If you bought a $5,000 tri bike with areo bars and bladed spokes for reduced wind drag, you’re not going to get a kickstand on there, sorry. Also, kickstands come in a set length and may need to be cut down with a hacksaw to fit your bike. You should be able to turn the handlebars all the way from left to right without the bike falling over. If you don’t feel comfortable measuring and cutting a kickstand, consider taking it to a bike shop.
>
>Clothing/comfort: A pair of cushioned bike shorts makes a ride a lot more enjoyable. But they’re also a lot less comfortable for anything else you’re doing. Unless you’re going to bring a change of clothes with you, bike shorts aren’t a practical piece of attire once you step off your bike. It’s not necessary to get spandexed up to ride the bike, but casual clothing does present some barriers to biking. Here’s a couple common issues and how I address them.
>
> Comfortable saddle: We’re not talking about a carbon fiber road bike with skinny tires and aero bars here, we’re talking about a commuter bike. Hopefully you figured that out while installing the fenders, rack and folding basket. Saddles come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. And second only to making sure you have the right sized bike, this is the single most important element for your comfort. Find a saddle that makes sense for the type of riding you do, and if that means it’s a gel-cushioned saddle, then go for it. Find one that doesn’t rely on the cushioned posterior of bike shorts to let you ride comfortably.
>
> Pedals/Shoes: This is a big one. If I had to stop and consider what kind of shoes I’m wearing when deciding to ride or drive, it would cut down my biking drastically. Here’s a secret: most bikes are sold with the cheapest pedals available. Even fancy bike shop bikes are shipped with cheapo pedals. Some, like $5,000 road bikes, aren’t shipped with any pedals at all, because they know that pedals are one of the first things serious riders replace. That means if you haven’t installed new pedals, your bike is probably equipped with cheap pedals that aren’t designed for the kind of riding you do or the shoes you will wear. Sometimes, just upgrading to a pair or metal pedals with more grip might do the trick. There are also systems with toe cages that will let you strap your feet in. I find these to be more of a pain than they’re worth. If you’re not going to strap your feet in for every ride, they’re a hassle as the added weight makes the cages naturally hang upside down. There’s also clipless systems, but those involve special shoes and cleat systems which are more complicated than the type of riding we’re discussing here. If you’ve ever seen someone in biker gear in the store or coffee shop and they click with every step like they’re wearing horseshoes, those are clipless shoes.
>
>What I recommend is a platform pedal like these I have a similar pair on my bike. They work and feel just like a normal bike pedal. Designed for winter adventure biking, the large pins grip effortlessly onto every kind of shoe for an effortless connection. I can ride my bike while wearing my heavy-duty safety toe boots without any problems. Some of the ones I saw on Amazon are just as cheap as any other pair of pedals. I would recommend at least getting metal ones.
>
>Pedals come in two standards, ½” and 9/16”. This measurement is the diameter of the spindle that screws into your crank. Kid’s bikes and BMX bikes are usually ½”, adult bikes are almost always 9/16”. Make sure the pedals you get are the correct spindle size. Swapping out pedals is fairly easy, every pedal I encountered will come off with either a 15mm wrench or 6mm Allen wrench. One thing to watch out for is the left pedal is reverse threaded. It will unscrew to the right and tighten to the left. Remember it with this simple mnemonic: Your left foot goes on the left pedal and it tightens to the left. Any pair of pedals you get will have the left and right clearly marked. Double-check it before installation to avoid an expensive problem.

>* Outerwear: Naturally the weather will be a bigger impact on your day if you’re biking rather than driving. Nice days are nicer, bad weather days are worse, and even the moderate days can be a bit challenging when you’re kitting up for some bike-based errands. If it’s one of those days where you can’t decide on short or long sleeves, biking can make these decisions even more difficult. Chilly days get chillier once you start pedaling at 10-15 miles per hour, but bundle up too much and you can overheat. The real problem here is the wind of your own passage. A fluffy sweatshirt can keep you warm when you’re walking along, but wind can blow right through it. I recommend a light windbreaker like this one I found in REI’s Outlet. It will keep the wind off, but is light enough to keep you from overheating on those days where the sun is playing peekaboo. An added benefit of paying a bit more for bike specific gear is they’re often designed with high-visibility stripes for extra safety. It’s far from fashionable, but you can get a hi-vis vest pretty cheap. They’re lightweight to not really impact your ride and can be easily stowed if you want to stop catching everyone’s eye once you step off your bike.
>
>Running errands: Right now, I take my bike to the grocery store 60% of the time. But an average bike right off the sales floor isn’t equipped for hauling even a small amount of groceries, and if you don’t want to ride back home with your knees banging the shopping bags hanging from your handlebars, you’ll need to add some accessories to your bike before biking your groceries home isn’t a gigantic pain in the ass.
>
> Rack: Pretty simple. Putting a rack on your bike massively extends its utility. You can hang a pannier (more on them later) from the rack instead of using a backpack, keeping your back sweat-free. With the addidion of a bungee cord or more permanent strap system, you can hold things on top of it. If your bike has disc brakes, you may need a wider rack to accommodate the extra wide axle. Also, some bikes with unusual geometry may require extra-long bars for installing the rack. This and the folding basket below are probably the trickiest accessories to install, and where you might be better off having them professionally installed.
>
> Folding basket: This was a major piece of the puzzle for me. I didn’t want my bike permanently widened out with a pair of baskets off the rack. But I also wanted to be prepared to stop and do some shopping on my way home without worrying about how I would carry everything. The folding rack was the perfect solution. When I need it, it unfolds in a couple seconds and I can put stuff in it. When I don’t need it, or space is tight, it folds up quickly and it’s more or less unnoticeable off the side of my bike. It means I can make unexpected stops while on my bike to pick up a few things without having to double back in my car later. I have this Wald one, and it’s very nice. It was quite a pain to install though. Be prepared for a bit of frustration if you go the DIY route. This was the one part of these accessory installs that I used a power tool.

It is a problem if it's soft soil. I take this kickstand pad with me whenever I'm on a longer ride.
Definitely. I mean if these don't work for you or they break then maybe invest in ones that are bit more expensive. Again, up to you though.
Difference between the one I posted and the one OP has is the ones on Amazon are foldable
Here's the link: Black Foldable 3" Round 7/8" Handle Bar End Side Mirrors for Harley Davidson Honda Kawasaki Suzuki Yamaha Cruiser Dirt Bike Scooter ATV https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYZ8GPF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_j1B4Bb765V5Q9
Fender delete is from Vagabond Motorsports. They have a YouTube video that makes installation a breeze.

I’m loving the Zoom. I paired mine with the chimera intake and the bike pulls much harder in 2nd/3rd gear. Great sound and solid dB level for other drivers to hear you coming.
Thanks! I got the Vagabond: https://www.amazon.com/Vagabond-Motorsports-VM-HG710-Fender-Eliminator/dp/B01M0VTHCF
I like it because it was very easy to install, required no permanent modifications, and used the stock turn signals and license plate light.
Edit: Here's a before/after pic: https://i.imgur.com/JJFddUj.jpg
You can get these if you get a mirror that mounts different than OEM. Cleans it up nicely.
This is where I got them from. Aliexpress wasn't my first choice but I took a chance and it worked! Also here are the levers, mirrors, and grips I installed too. These are fit for the Z900 only, so they probably won't fit a different bike, but I am sure they make something for it.
As you might see in my other post, I recently picked up a Nighthawk as my new daily. She runs great but my commute is 45 miles of highway each way every day, and with recent wind storms in my area it has been brutal. So I think I'm going to put a small windshield on and could use some recommendations.
I've poked around online and it looks like there wasn't an option for any kind of factory windshields or fairings that I can find, so I was thinking of something like this. Just big enough to provide a small amount of cushion against the gusts. Are there better options/brands/deals?

Slipstreamer S-06C Motorcycle Windshield, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GTUM9O?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I picked up these for my 1981 suzuki gs1000gl build I did this summer knowing they were likely really cheap quality. I have been pleasantly surprised by their performance so far...probably just over 1000 miles so far.
I bought This and kind of feel like a pud for spending $7
Yeah, it's a Slipstreamer. Specifically, this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000GTUM9O/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1
Installs very easily, stays put, comes off easily, and looks like it was made for the bike. I would def recommend. I probably prefer the looks of a bike without a screen, but it makes a big difference in comfort when riding at higher speeds.
This one
Easy to install, works well, looks good, isn't too expensive.
Yeah, it wasn't too bad.

I like the mirrors alot, I've bought them twice now.

The mirrors were a Christmas gift from my wife, since I've been bitching for a while about the stock mirrors. They were very simple to put on and have been holding like a dream on the highway. So far, I love them! Highly recommended for anyone who is fed up with the stock mirror placement!
Looks good. Why don't you give these mirrors a try? Their lines will go well with that headlight. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CHCPT32/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1419728286&sr=8-1

I use these and they work pretty well, but I do have to put my elbows down a little to see directly behind me. If I'm stopped at a light I can clearly see approaching traffic from behind, which is the main reason I run with mirrors. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Y2RH6WG
Cheap ones from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071S21FV8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They're... OK. Not convex lenses, and they have a weird blue tint that's supposed to cut down glare. They clamp directly onto the factory bar end weights though, which is nice. I actually just replaced them with some different ones that are convex and can be folded.
Arrows are a waste of money honestly. Imitation ones from Amazon work well and fit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B079KBDC9Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_pd_title
Was able to use even with bar end slider because they give a long bolts I just had to trim.

Good ole Amazon, and I haven't ridden with them much but so far much better view behind me.
