Hey I have an 05 S40 and only have done the white spacer removal, drop in K&N Filter and adjusted the idle/fuel screw.
I want to know if top speed is increased at all by having a windscreen put on?
I go on a lot of rides with my Arizona motorcycle group and we are cruising a lot between 65-80. I want to know if there is a slight head wind, can the windscreen help the top speed?

Not sure if it makes it goes faster but it is a lot more comfortable at 80mph with the screen. I have ridden mine with and with out and screen cuts the wind in the face a lot. My suggestion for more speed is to change the muffler from stock to a free flowing one. I have a supertrapp which are "Tuneable" Then rejet /adjust carb to suit. I believe I gained about 10% more power and speed when I did mine. If thats not enough, talk to Lancer he's the man for increasing the power on the Savage and has some unique upgrades
I hope this helps

I've never had a small windscreen, but a normal windscreen will slow you down. You want notice much different till you get over 50mph.

If you want faster out of it, change the belt to a chain. If you are planning on riding highway speeds much, I suggest a windscreen. I had one on the Guzzi & the small windscreen took the blast off the chest & the wind hit high on the helmet. Didnt try to knock me head back. With a regular helmet & face shield, I got buffeting, but with the flip faced helmet, no air got in the helmet swirling & no buffeting. I wouldnt want the Biggo windshield.

I know that I have a small wind screen, and though it might cause a speed or handling difference, I feel the benefits out weigh those issues.
As well, concerning the title of this topic, I seriously prefer the cleaner fork mounting of the OEM shield. My bar is cluttered with those after market clamps, and I think they suck

Doubt that the aerodynamics of most screens do anything for speed, but even a small one is excellent for lessening wind-chill on a cold day! Thus I find the Virago warmer than the Savage:
