I've ridden both ways. I don't think it makes much difference.

No difference. I took mine off. I prefer the naked/minimalist look of the stock fron-end.

didn't have one for 3 months. just bought one. Not much difference but I like the look with one on better. it hides the instrument panel that sticks out. Personasl preference i guess.

I agree with the othersin that generally it doesnt make much difference. It does help a little if you crouch down when covering lots of miles at high speed. (90mph +)

Thats when you find out that the saddle is not designed for long distance miles.

Somehow, it made a frequent 300 mile trip I make more bearable on the freeway... Was it mental? I don't know. The wind seemed to push my helmet and head around less.

It makes little or no difference. Put it on if you like the way it looks.
