Saddly due to the bikes power if i was to full fairing it the weight would more then likely create a negative impact on mpg for sure. One its air cooled which limits the airmods and 2 the bike weighs a little shy of 200 pounds and with me a 180 poind rider that makes 380 pounds total weight. Ad like 20 pounds for aero parts and now your at 400 pounds which is a 5 percent. Yes highway cruising mpg will go up but it would never outweigh the fact the lower the like 40-50 mph mpg will drop badly due to added wieght. The bike top speed is 65 so i dont plan on extended highway useage so im my case a lighter motorcycle (reduce weight will be better)
