We had a similar post few years back. Seems there's a club in England that rides scooters with umpteen mirrors attached.

If I had some white tape, I'd cover the upper third or so of the headlight bezel.

I bet you have to be really careful if you ride that in bright sunlight, and remember to "NEVER" ride with the sun behind you! 8-)

This is a current retro cult thing......

The fellows that spruced up their scooter were called "Mods".  They added lights and mirrors and Racoon tails.

The fellows that did the Cafe' bike thing were called  "Rockers".  They took things off their bikes and tried to make them lighter and faster.

I Remember the first time that I saw one of the British girls sitting on a bike with her suspenders showing. The British girls called suspenders  what our American girls called garter belts.

Either look good sitting on a motor bike.

No problem. Mods are a British thing and the sun never comes out there.
