Thanks for posting all the pictures in one place! (Note: #3, #4, and #5 are all identical design; same with #6 and #7)
If I had to rank what I like so far, in order, it would be:
# 10 (best looking so far, perhaps after a few tweaks, matches angles, interesting design)
# 9 (matches the fairing the best, might not be enough protection)
# 2 (yep, I actually like it meeting at the center that way, it is more interesting and "fast" looking)
# 3/4/5 but with the horizontal meeting the vertical at a single point (simple, functional)
I hate to say it, but I think I would be least happy with 6/7/8. It is a nice looking bar, when taken alone. But on the bike, it just conflicts too much with the lines of the vents and bike. I could
I don't think we can count #1, because it has been said it will not offer any reasonable protection.
If this does go to poll, I think it needs to be crafted carefully so people can, for each design, express what they like, by how much, in what order, and what they don't like at all. Something that rates each design on a like and action scale might make sense- something like:
5=will definitely buy, perfect
4=would buy, great but not perfect
3=probably buy, but not great
2=reluctantly might buy it, but not happy with it
1=would never buy, hate it
