Obviously your not running a tank bag for all your little bits and pieces. On mine I've fitted the R & G crash bars, pipe and radiator protectors, a Australian Headlight Protectors headlight cover, a pair of LED Rider, LX5 LED lights under the rearview mirrors plus a smaller pair on brackets on the fork lowers. Also a few of the IBA membership here in Australia have fitted [mine is under the left headlight on a small bracket] a vehicle reversing beeper. This is for alerting wildlife [kangaroos] to our approaching. We have found that they work best between 80 - 95 kilometres per hour, any faster and your over running the noise. They don't prevent strikes by any means, but we've found those grazing on the road edge move away as they hear the beeping. Don't know how the'd workwith your 4 legged beasts over there but every bit helps.
