Installed some LED lights
When I had first ordered the Hawk I started looking for accessories right off the bat. I found these inexpensive LED lights on Amazon and decide to give them a try. I also ordered a switch as well, rather than wire to headlights as I'll only use them in the woods and country roads. I was not sure how I wanted to mount them, but stumbled across some Side View mirror clamps on Amazon, again cheap. The they arrived I just had to switch out the bolt they included for some M10 .125 bolts and I was all set. Can't wait to see them at night. I also replaced the side view mirrors. Not much bigger, but more rectangular. Tomorrow it's a tach, and another valve clearance check. I think they may be too loose.

Nice! Love LED's. Bright and draw next to nothing.
...and yes, the Hawks come with the same useless mirrors that I have on Q that aren't near wide enough. I have some wider mirrors in my Amazon wish list. Which ones did you order? They look like they actually clear the bar ends.

The mirrors actually came from china via the Wish app, or wish.com They have all sorts of stuff from Chinese vendors. Really cheap just takes for ever to get here. The mirrors were $9 plus $1 or 2 shipping. Took about 3 weeks to get here. They have great customer service. I've had things that go beyond the shipping estimate, they refund, the stuff has then showed up way late. A couple of things arrived not as described, but a complaint brought a refund. Here is a link to the mirrors. https://www.wish.com/c/564aa0cb0428373c0178f2ec As for the mirrors themselves they do go just past the bar ends. Rode today and they did great. I can now see behind me easily.

Did the same with my reflector mounts with no clearance issues from stop to stop
Relocated the reflector to plastic sides Love them , perfect for "reminder flashs" to soccer moms.
