I did too many mods at once to know what each did individually. The saddlebags are fiberglass and pretty narrow, certainly no wider than my legs, but I imagine that they had a negative effect. I am putting aesthetics above aerodynamics on this one; no trunk. The saddlebags get used on every trip (it is my commuter vehicle).
I still need to take a long trip to see how the changes affect my highway mileage. The mixed city/highway mileage is about the same as before adding the Rifle fairing and saddlebags, but I wonder how the highway mileage will be now.
