Everything is always personal opinion. I think it is great that companies keep giving us options. I like how they look under the seat, but not really into the way they wrap around the chain... just my opinion. Very cool to have something different than everybody else.
I have CRG Arrow mirrors and the quality is top notch. I used special bar ends to mount them (I think I detailed it in my build thread). Every time I've ever mixed LED lights on a bike it increases the flash rate, but you can find inexpensive inline solutions.
I love mine. I've been running the P1X tip, but since I started wearing ear plugs to tame the wind I'm going to pull it out and let it breathe. I'll still keep it in case I do track days and they flag me for noise, I can just put it back on.

Thanks for the compliments fellers. I really enjoy my FZ1... the best all around bike I've ever owned. I run my smuggler setup all the time though (the retro cowl and stock rear seat sit in the garage).

In addition to what you did with pipe and filter, I did some of the air mods I found on related sites and I gutted the cat. Mine doesn't pop or have any performance issues at all. There is a wealth of info from guys on this site and you will be able to find some better info in the performance...
This was the logo I created for my bike stickers and the cartoon I created of my bike. I've created logos for over 30 years and am willing to do something if you want. LAZ
Congrats on the bike. I can see you are already reaping the benefits of joining this forum. The guys here are great and they give a variety of tips that you can choose from to make your bike the way you want it.
The other option is to sign up as a corner worker. I went to Laguna Seca the first year they came back to the US (2005) and worked the top of turn 9 so I could see the cork screw, 9, and 10. The cool part was we got free camping, food and drink provided, full pit access, and at the end of it...
