I used a standard 7" round Emgo headlight bucket, and Emgo black cast aluminum ears that are really nice. They come with adapters for 35mm fork tubes, so I had to machine them a little for the 36mm tubes.
I mounted the same type turn signals on the rear frame tabs that originally mounted the rear of the peg mounts/handles that I cut the handles off of, and added LEDs inside the unused left and right sections of the tail light as additional brake lights. I remounted the stock tail light close to the rear handle on a bracket that's also the tag bracket.
For now, I mounted the stock instruments close to the handlebars, but if I have any trouble with them I'm going to go to this Danmoto combination unit that has all the functions of the original Ninja dash:

I don't care for the look of no rear plastic and exposed frame tubes, so I trimmed mine and painted things to sort of imitate the side panels of "standard" motorcycles from past decades. |
Good looking bike! Personally, I love the look of the exposed frame--makes it look like a "rat bike" of sorts, which is kinda what I'm going for.
Ok, so I was able to find a headlight with mounts and two sets of turn signals. Now just need a taillight. I want to stay away from LED just so I don't have to change anything with the wiring. Hopefully I can find something that's close to plug-in-play..
