Make sure you get mirror extenders suitable for a Yamaha as yoyo has said, one is RH thread and the other is LH thread. You can also get them from eBay.
I bought this yesterday,been and looked at it today, collect it on Tuesday, 90 miles on the clock
Crikey that must have taken them ages swapping all that lot over … care to list them out in a must have order …
Good health to enjoy your bike young man
I had second thoughts about my second hand one, decided to instead buy (possibly)the very last brand new unregistered Black S10 in the country. It will be on the road from the 1st September. I’ve ordered a black top box and engine bars, I would like a black sumpguard but can’t find one yet ….anyone got any ideas ?

The first S10 (demonstrator) came with the Givi AirFlow screen, winglets, Touareg Man on the Tank, larger brake pedal, Spotlights under the headlight and alloy bash plate and I negotiated Givi Trekker Top Box and Panniers and I bought Givi Crash bars and spot lights that mount on the top of the bars, knee tank protectors, headlight protector, sat nav mount and louder horn (Stebel Magnum?)
All these were then transferred to the Worldcrosser which came with carbon fibre side panels. fork protectors little frame protectors, shaft protector, brake protector and a bash plate with a protector for the water pump etc I added the Akropovic (second hand). I then changed the Givi Trekkers for Givi Outback
All of these were then transferred to the bike you see in the picture. I had to replace the tank knee protectors and add a few graphics
Bearing in mind that most of my farkles came with the bikes I bought, if I were starting from scratch again I would certainly buy/source the following
1 After market screen....I do rate the AirFlow
2 Sat Nav Bracket....it's a touring bike
3 Rear Brake enlarger....I like to be able to find both brakes in an emergency,
4 Crash Bars.....the Givi did a great sacrificial job when the Worldcrosser went down
5 Louder Horn....the original is like a squirrel fart
6 Aluminium luggage
7 Headight Protector....have you seen the price of a new one?
8 Spotlights on the crash bars. I like to be seen but it does not always work!!!!!!!
9 Wind deflectors....they seem to do a good job
10 Tank knee pads.....saves scratching the tank
The rest is only for appearance 9although I do like them.
As I said above the Akropovic was second hand.........I believe I could still sell it for what I paid.....would not consider paying the new list price
Hope this answers your question

That's identical to mine and they look great in the flesh. My neighbour said yesterday that it looked menacing!!
I've got the crash bars and sump guard on their way as a start with pannier rails and MRA screen in the pipeline. I'll be using Mosko soft luggage rather than hard panniers.
I really like the S10
There is plenty of power for normal street riding and once you have got the screen sorted you will find the sensation of speed deceptive......you'll be going faster than you think. Comfy and VERY reliable. I'm now on my fourth (1st = ex demonstrator swapped in after 2 years of a Worldcrosser. That was a keeper until an elderly Gent took me out when he was turning right. Enter my ZE model in 2015...the most unreliable....a headlight bulb blew at 38k! At 48k I traded it because it needed a BIG service, new tyres etc and, most importantly. new ones are no longer available due to not meeting Euro 5. It was a case of buying a pre reg one now whilst they are still available.
Luckily the dealer (Wigan Yam) offered to transfer all my extras from the old bike to the new.
Here she is in all her glory!
