Barkbusters Storm handguns and some 3" led spotlights.
Have seen a couple of bikes with handguns on and liked the idea. Had a set laying around gathering dust and the brain went, mmmm ??.
Current grips are Oxford heated units held in place by 6mmx120mm bolt. Instructions for guards said to cut ends off grips, insert toggle bolts and tighten.
Decided I wasn't cutting anything, bought 2 6mmx150mm bolts shortened by 10mm, packed/spaced all recessed sections with spring & flat washers and bolted up. Drilled out guard & bolted a thin bracket from the edge of guard to clutch & brake pivot bolts.
Final touch was to paint all bolts gloss black with some nail polish , no, not mine. It sets really well and sticks to anything really well.
Need to take pics .
Bought some 3" spotlights & a relay kit off the bay. Supposed to have seperate low beam, high beam, flashing mode and blue angel eye around outside. Unfortunately, low and angel wouldn't seperate and the low beam was a RED LED. A few emails later I received a full refund and got to keep the lot.
Opened them up, coated Red led with back nail polish and presto, no red light. Just need to decide where to mount them.

Barkbusters look like a great idea , and pure luxury being able to see where you are going ............. Hmm black nail polish eh , going for the Goth or Emo look perhaps ?

Actually, at the moment, it matches the half a nail on my right thumb.
Lights & relay kit - $41.00, then refunded.

Looking good.
With the mirrors back in place would be hard to notice when going past

Re: Barkbusters Storm handguns and some 3" led spotlights.
Thank, there's a silver bandit on bikesales with panniers, throttle lock, guards and a rectangular spotlight on the front guard,. Obviously it works but I think the up/down would make me seasick.

Re: Barkbusters Storm handguns and some 3" led spotlights.
Don't mind me just thinking out loud
You put a Led Bar across the top of the headlight .... will it effect the airflow going up under your Zero Gravity screen?
Over the past 6 years i have changed screens and changed heights and spaced out the screen on my Honda.
The screen i have now and height gives me no buffeting until 120kph.
If your Led does cause grief with the screen another mount might be your Oggy's
Just a picture of a rider on the VFR forum.

Re: Barkbusters Storm handguns and some 3" led spotlights.
It could do, I see a bit of experimenting happening.
3" jobbies could have a bracket from underside of fairing, going out and up a little to mount, inline with outside and the bottom of headlight.

Re: Barkbusters Storm handguns and some 3" led spotlights.
High beam was still on for 3 & 7 pics.
The spread of light with 7 is huge.
Just need to finish the wiring, decided to put 7 on seperate 5amp fuse and relay.
Will fashion a smaller control panel at later date.
Red - holding in relay for power to seperate fuse panel. Ignition off, it drops out all power to extra lights & usb & heated grips. Seperate fuses for each.
Blue - Blue Angel lights.
Green - 3" spots. Switch twice to activate strobe mode.
Yellow - 7" bar.
Total cost would have been $60 for lights ( got 1 set for free), $10 for Alu plate, $12 for switches, $10 for relays, $10 for seperate fusebox. Had paint and 5mm bolts.
A bit of fun.
