G-3, I would suggest two things to consider on your bike:
1. an inner rear fender of some sort to keep your rear tire from shooting dirt and crap right at your filters.
2. Rear sets wold make the riding position more natural and comfortable with the low bars1979 GS550, 2003 R6, 1998 XR400 Dual Sport, 2004 V-Star.........

The inner fender could be just a piece of sheet metal. It wouldn't even need to be that noticeable.1979 GS550, 2003 R6, 1998 XR400 Dual Sport, 2004 V-Star.........
