Might only mean 0.01 but every little bit counts. The mirrors might actually be worth keeping, might block a little going back to your shoulders, just knock the glass out and fill with foam.

I would put a guard over the front pulley, even a good racing shoe might get sucked in, and I bet it would hurt for a long time.

Sport Touring Screen from Zero Gravity. It will WORK at speed... much better streamlining than your head and shoulders (which you can't get out of the air flow with your chest on the airbox)

Double Bubble might look cool but it won't give you NEAR the coverage. Face it, your helmet, shoulders and elbows just aren't too "streamlined"

My profile pic actually is the bike with Sport Touring screen.

Forgot this pic of Henry, Sunny and Me at F-USA in Vegas back about 2004. This is the Zero Gravity Sport Touring screen.

The helmet isn't so bad, but the neck and shoulders are not good at all. I have that same dark smoke screen, to bad I didn't get mine back together before the snow. The one thing that bothered me the most was that the stock screen put the wind directly into the chin vent on the helmet. Normally not a big concern for most people, except the little bugs that slide right past the screen in that vent! Decided I better try the taller screen to see how well it worked for me on the road.
