Default Winter Modifications (with pics)

Completed my winter mods. New handlebars (ribbed t-bars from roland sands) that I internally wired, speedo relocation, coil and ignition relocation with wire tuck but no tank lift (don'y have clearance with the new bars). I'm pretty pleased with the whole thing, since I did it myself. I've got to come up with different mirrors, I loved them flipped on the old bars, but with the more narrow bars, they'd hit the tank. I'm thinking maybe bar end mirrors but suggestions appreciated. Let me know what you think. Pics aren't the greatest, were taken on my phone.

Bar end mirrors would look good, maybe just 1 mirror.

nice job but you should have chopped 2-3" off the ends and made them more narrow. skinny t-bars rule! i can't even imagine what roland wants for those.
