So, questions...

Centre stand, yes or no?
Crash protection, loose protectors or crash bar?
Indicators in the mirror or in the handguards?
How to change the backside?

centre stand - no, just use paddock stands.
crash protection - how many times are you going to crash it? If a lot then bars, if not a lot then crash bungs.
I'd not put indicators in the mirrors or handguards as they are the first things to smash in an off... which your crash protection requirement would suggest! :D

If you want to make some massive trips with it - then yeah - get a center stand. But if not - you'll be doing your maintenance at home/garage/street and use independent stand.

As for the guards - get crash pads. IMO it'll look more clean than a cage.

The more i think about the less i like the idea.

I don't intend to fall/crash at all, but you never know ;)

I want to get right of the indicators, they always look bad.
But, considering they are required, i need some way around that ;)

I am having similar issues on my Moto Guzzi regarding indicators, as my current ones are not legal and won't pass the annual test
