On that note, thats part of the reason why i am anxious to make a fairing for my Ninja. A streamlined shape will elongate my bike a good foot or 2 in the front and another foot in the rear. I plan on designing some sort of drawer trunk in the front of the fairing (theres going to be a lot of dead space) so as the small weight of luggage i usually carry can be placed over the front of the bike, which makes it more stable.
