Hi !

Just bought a new SRF. Some accessories I bought:
    - tank protection sticker (i have seen that the shiny plastic needs protection)
    - lcd screen protection film (same)
    - Zero led turn signals (the reseller tells me that he had repeated issues, even when he correctly configures the firmware for led signals if not zero's)
    - T2 - T2 triphase cable (120 € adaptable, length 3 meters in order to fit in the tank) and T2 - AC cord (200 € adaptable)

I was thinking about changing the mirrors - do you have suggestions & pictures for that ? What I need is keeing a good rear view, but reducing the bike' width to make lane splitting easier. So i wont use bar end mirrors which increase the width.

I might also remove the premium handle ends which add 2 centimeters on each side.

Any other idea ?

After about a year, and after trying out a much smaller and cheaper Chinese kit, I mounted a MRA highway windshield (~100€), later extended with another Chinese kit on the top. With these and the plastic sheet in the middle, I finally can ride without earplugs, and listening to birds instead of wind turbulences.

I’ve been using a pair of these for the past 4 yrs/48+K miles on my 2016 DSR.

I also added a small round spot mirror that has a 360° rotating base that allows directing the angle somewhat. 

Still holding up tho every now and then in the winter have to re-tension pinch screw to keep the half’s from self folding when hitting bumps in the road.

I got the Shad luggage case rack, top and side cases. Extremely handy for storing helmet and charge cables, plus any other luggage you need on longer trips.

I also got the LED turn signals. They are great! Should be standard on all Zeros. They should have given it an LED headlight too, and eventually I will get one. I also use the RAM mount phone holder and the rack that holds the top case. I didn't get an actual top case but the rack adds some sorely needed mounting points so that I can strap stuff on. Finally, I've added Barkbusters handguards because I was too cheap to buy the official Zero/Cycra handguards. They keep my hands warm in cold weather and also hide my broken brake lever (it's only cosmetic, the tip snapped off in a fall). Because of the handguards I have not personally felt the need for heated grips.

Yes, exactly that one.

It cannot be seen in that picture but if you like me top it up with a smaller screen, then above 100 kph the wind force will be greater than what the original fixation allows. I added a pair of 3M removable hooks, along with two plastic straps fixed on the bike. That keeps it steady.

Thanks a lot ! Can you share pictures of the bike with the screen, the fixation& the 3M hooks ?

[Zelidar]

Here you are.
I tried smaller ones but the summer heat weakened the adhesive too much. I ended up selecting the largest pair I could find. I also used a heat gun to make them as closely curved as the windshield below them. They came in white and I later painted them in black. These are now stable, lasting longer than my last set of tires.

Thanks a lot !
