I bought the extenders from kouba link. That are awesome. I don't have the squeeze my elbows in to see traffic behind. Those other extenders look like the block the menu switches on the clutch side.

Put on some sato racing engine sliders

I did a tail tidy using the stock yamaha parts. I will post a link to a video soon.
-Take off the rear passenger seat
-Unclip the three wires that go to the signal lights and the taillight(I labeled each wire and it's matching wire with some masking tape to ensure I didn't mix them up when reinstalling)
-undo the four locknuts
-drop the wires out and remove the rear license plate bracket
-Disassemble the long metal bracket from the license plate assembly (four black round screws)
And remove the plastic wire retainer that holds the wires tight to the brackets underside.
 
- I bought 4 -2" long 6mm stainless bolts
-4 stainless fender washers (fender washer just has a larger outside diameter)
-4 stainless lock washers
4-nylon spacers 1" long ( you could use aluminum as long as the inside diameter of the spacer is 6mm)
I found these at a local hardware store.
 
The nylon spacers hold the licence plate bracket away from the underside of the pillion so the plastic shroud doesn't get crushed when bolts are tightened.
-The bolts and washers drop in from the topside.
-the nylon spacers slide onto the bolts from the underside.
-then the bolts thread into to threaded holes on the licence plate bracket.
**** see info below
Tighten it all down and it will be solid as a rock.
I also removed the metal bracket that holds the cheesy reflectors on the side of the bracket.
 
****I had to re drill the two of the four holes under the passenger seat to make them closer together ( the two closest to the front of the bike)
I thought the holes would line up perfectly but they don't !
It's like yamaha does this on purpose so you have to buy an aftermarket tail
I also had to dremel out some of the plastic around the relocated bolts so the plastic liner tray can sit flat. ( This gets covered by the tool kit)
Hope it helps. I'll Post a video link soon.

I ordered Akro titanium full system, Graves block off plates, PIAA 1100 LED Driving lights. No bike yet!

Let me know how it fits. I'm curious to know. The stock exhaust is different than that on the fz-09 to make the centerstand fit. So I'm curious to see if there is any issue with aftermarket ,and if centerstand can stay.
