If any one else is interested send me a PM.
Those are the stock GT additions to the RS (2002-on) fairing, along with the lower leg wind deflectors.
OP, the GT was originally designed for the handlebars to be much lower, where the hand guards actually added wind protection.
I believe this is the European version of bar placements and works for them.
The US version had the bars back and up a bit, making the additions less functional.
Perhaps the hand guards from the GS could be modified for use on her GT and would help in this case.
Best wishes.
