  • Passenger mirror delete
I'd consider to use smaller and more streamlined sport motorcycle rearview mirrors instead of delete the passenger-side one.

By the way, I'd also think about some weight-saving tricks, replacing a few body panels, such as front fenders and hood, with plastic ones, and also taking out some of the interior trim such as door liners and carpet. A single-arm windscreen wiper can also be quite effective to reduce the drag, and also shaving that antenna out of the A-pillar. An internal windscreen-mounted antenna is better if you won't ever consider to get rid of the radio.
