The design intent was to reduce wind noise, but we like to correlate wind noise to overall improved aerodynamics. I am going to claim it is a wash (of less noisy air) because it is mitigating a perceived problem that is actually masked by normal gassers with noisy ICEs.

If they offered a camera-side-mirror option, they could ditch the external side-view mirrors and the headlight lens bumps.

But I am waiting for aerohead to chime in.
