opinions wanted for gender eliminator and bar end mirrors

I am going to buy a fender eliminator kit for my bike soon, and from online searching I've seen mostly three brands. Yoshi, targa, and another. I forget ATM. Of course each brand says theirs is better. I buy quality, not brand names so I myself do not have a bias.
Can anyone recommend a kit based on experience?
Also, I want a set of bar end mirrors. I see a handful of quality companies, anyone i should focus on?
Thanks folks. I've been away from the 250 for a few years and I don't recognize most of the peeps here. I see a few I remember though.

I have a Yosi eliminator and am satisfied with it. Quality seems good and easy to install. I have no experience with any others, or with bar end mirrors.

Not a fan of bar ends. I like my fairing mount mirrors as they are out of the way and functional.

You can keep your gender eliminator. I like mine right where it is.

Isn't gender elimination, like, illegal in North Carolina?

It's 2018, anything is possible. Just check "prefer not to answer" or "dunno".

When asked "Sex_____", I type "sure".

Here's my fender-eliminator. Cleanest, lightest and cheapest of them all.



Although for some locations where State owns the plates, they may frown on you drilling additional holes. So you'll want to re-use horizontal plate-bracket from original fender.

There are lots of fender eliminator kits on eBay but they are pricey.

I put a Hotbodies fender elim undertail with integrated signals on my bike. I liked the finished look, getting there was interesting. There is a write up the DIY section i believe.

The smoke color one is/was cheaper and looks practically black

Wow I swear I read through the text before hitting post. Guess I skipped the title. Haha man that's a typo right there.
From what I've seen, the yoshi kit looks like it is just a bracket with their tag frame. Is that really what they are asking $120 bucks for?
I thought I had seen a kit that replaced the plastic in that area to keep a finished look. But it has been a while since I was looking at any 250 stuff.
I can here the literbike riders now, gender elimination on a 250 forum. Lol

eBay has many fender eliminator kits for under $50.00.

I don't remember how much I paid for the Yoshi, I don't think it was that much though. It still has a finished look, there aren't any gaps or anything.
