A bit late to the party, but here's my 2 cents anyway

I have a cheapo ebay double bubble screen; there's more turbulence around the helmet but only in the form of wind noise. There's virtually no physical buffeting or wind pressure anymore. Like the Blackbird needs any help making highly illegal speeds even less dramatic.

Also, the clear (or smoked) front indicators have gone generic, they're all over ebay for about $30. They don't come with bulbs like the genuine Clear Alternatives, but bulbs are cheap.

I must be the only XX rider who doesn't want higher bars, but then I have orangutan arms. I installed a set of Danmoto 3d adjustable bars when I did my ZX-14 front end swap and they will definitely adjust to a position a lot higher and farther back than the stock bars. Worth looking into for anyone who wants aftermarket bars, they're a lot cheaper and a lot more adjustable than anything else.

Thanks for that link. I installed GenMar risers and they help enough and look pretty good, but these adjustable bars look really good and cheap.
