BDop Cycling - Super Delux Dashboard - Carbon fibre, and long enough to mount some stuff - makes aiming lights easy, and gets rid of cable interfearence.

Soma "Clarence" bar, Blackburn mirror, Incredibell, CygoLite Rover II LED. I just swapped out the stock riser bar for the Clarence bar last week. I had been getting pain in my hands on any rides longer than 4-5 miles and decided to try a bar with more sweep back. So far I like the Clarence bar, however I have not been on any rides longer than 10 miles with them yet. I don't think the Clarence is a good choice if you like a lot of accesories on your bars as the only straight section is the clamp area.
Ergon grips are next on the list for this bike.

Download the firmware for your model and install it on your memory card. This firmware doesn't replace the original firmware, it just loads from the card. Great stuff!
I really want to mount my Powershot S2. But it's big! Maybe I'll just zip tie it.

I'd be a bit apprehensive about mounting a Canon S2 on any bike regardless of the mount. The zoom lens on that camera is quite fragile and most likely not stand up to the vibration that it would be exposed to on a bike.

I have the lensmate adapter that protects the lens, but didn't think about the vibration. Thanks WCoastPeddler!

Depending on the Powershot model you have, you may be able to add this functionality.

Used to have a bar-end mirror, but it smashed last month when the bike fell over.

There was a compass on my bell, but it fell off.

Bells are required here as well but only for cycling on the MUP's
I like the look of the Aero Bar setup in Timber's OP. I just might give that a try.

Just the start!
Going to add light or lights and a bicycle computer, due to having Reiter's Syndrome (Chronic) I've got arthritis in my shoulders so I can't handle the "weight" of even a "small camelback" system. The bike only came with 1 (usable) frame mounted waterbottle point and I drink a LOT of water while riding so the "Trekking Bars", gave me room for 2 extra cages so I'm happy!

1972 puch
there were not to many choices for brake levers since i have the original center pulls. i had to turn the levers upside down to get a compact fit with the
acrea rapid fires.

Some people like the stability, some people like the convenience. To each his own... Nice bike! (forgot to mention that while I was criticizing your bars. lol)
