Excellent info guys
Total package seems to make the most sense as , given unlimted time to test/tune and RH implied. Personally I'm in a situation where my OEM ones are cracked so I look at it as a win/win situation. Smoother aeros, less mass from fairing and removal of heavy headlights, etc. The price is cheaper than OEM too as 1212 has mentioned.
Technically Landracing is right, the only real way to find out is REAL WORLD. But given the fact that I'll never be able to duplicate any run 100% it throws some bit of variability into the occaision. A tailwind, mimimal clutch slip, more wheelspin, 50 psi less nitrous...anything can make a small difference that may make it hard to truely tell....factor in temp changes and ... at least for me @ this stage in the game, it would be hard to come to a "sound" conclusion. So theory will have to do (smoother aeros up front and less mass.
FiremanJim: I'm about 1-2" lowered now...may look into going a little lower as something seemingly minor is reported to make a real big difference in the 200+ realm when you're fighting hard.
Stayt: Given the fact that I'm 5'6 and about 125 lbs no gear
I hadn't thought about lowring the seat or removing the tank. Now that I am, tank removal would be first simply because its just a matter of removing something. A lower seat would help. I need to get measured and see if any lil bit of my helmet still is exposed above the stock windscreen. I want to still use an OEM windscreen because they are already low and sturdy. If I can cleanly get behind it, I'd be better off than the bubble types due to being lower and seemingly smoother air flow. Those bubble ones seem more turbulent...but this is just by going w/a "feeling"...nothing proven yet. If a supercheap seat comes my way I'll consider it
Pork: Based on what you're implying and what my instincts are saying, I'm going for a smoother aftermarket tail piece and a smoother front end. The OEM side body fairings can't have as significant of an effect so they'll stay. Doesn't seem to be as "cost effective" in this case. Per others, I have heard leaving the wings on the fairings is smarter for downforce/stability issues. One variable that I'll leave constant for now.
