That's a great paint job mockup; looks like an original accessory. Is that your plan?
That dustbin is really low - like Airtech's Gilera 125, roughly. Their DBL1 is the only one tall enough for a Zero; the DBL2 is still fairly low:

The mock-up paint job really makes it look seamless with the rest of the bike. I was not sure I liked it before, but with the black upper part it is not as prominent visually as before (I like it better this way, it was a bit too much before).
I have to say I like this scheme pretty much, I will probably go for it.
+1 on the paint job mock up, very nice. Have you figured out how your going to set up the headlight and turn signals?
For now there is a placeholder round headlight in the fairing, that will be replaced with a sealed led unit later. Turn signals are included with the fairing, you can see the holes for them on the last page. Those will be upgraded to bright LED's because they have to stand out in a sea of orange.
Now for the rear side:I was looking for a sturdy top case to mount the super charger in saw the following at the same bike show:
http://www.stahlkoffer.com/prices/Very nice and sturdy stuff, and they told me they want to make a mounting for Zero's:
Now the long term idea was to make a fibreglass tail for storage and a bit of streamlining, but these cases sparked a thought. Had a little chat with the owner and they can make bit more aero front on it, and as you can see the narrow panniers don't stick out very much. The extra carrying capacity is welcome, especially when going on a holiday.
Now here's where it does get long term wacky idea; those cases have the nice square brackets on them where you can throw a bag on them tighten it with string. What if you made a kind of quick release streamlining tail for it that you can mount an dismount when you need it:
