Default Screens, Plate bolts and passenger backrest recommendations

At this point im just doing cosmetic upgrades as I really dont know what to do for performance.

Here is all that I have added thus far:

These mirrors are a bit cheesy, so ill be replacing those. Recommendations please.

Can you guys help me with recommendations for:

Passenger seat Back. My wife will ride with me, but she wants a high seat. Not the little wedge type seat. But i want good quality at a good price ( I guess everyone wants that).

Windscreen: Not 100% sure On a windscreen yet. Im on the fence on the looks. still looking through the forum for pics.

And last thing for now, I seen a pair of boots with a leather strap across the top of the boot where the shifter touches. I think this is so it doesnt wear out the boot. Who makes these?

Please bare with me guys. Yes im new. I dont know what will look good. Right now its trial and error. Most likely many errors. LOL~!

Knowing what you ride would help.

As far as Windshields...these are the only aftermarket shield for Sporty's that I came up with off the top of my head. I'm sure ther's lots more

Windscreen: Not 100% sure On a windscreen yet. Im on the fence on the looks. still looking through the forum for pics.
I got a couple custom plate surrounds made by these folks ---- depending on the message they can be cool and they last well.

http://www.twochicks.com/index.asp?pageId=11

Windscreen I use the quick-release that is simply 4 spring clamps and gone. Not that it looks all that great but when I want it off its off in 30 seconds.

If you decide to add bags, go slash/slant. Even with them off the frames look a little cooler than the straight up-and-down ones.

Paint. Here is the top of the tank on the Sportie
