as far as aero, yes. Anytime we add something to the bike, it increases the drag. I did some testing on mine with bare bike, then top box only, then side luggage only then top and both side boxes. each one cost me a few mpg, only a few but none the less it comes at a cost. Overall, i'd so rather run with the boxes and have a great trip then to not have them. I like the size of your boxes, mine are the smaller ones and don't hold very much so i am constantly having to add gear somewhere else.
