I like that bike... it'd be a little better (minute amount) with a WindJammer type fairing, defeating the flow to the rider's legs. Also, fairing in the saddlebags to create a slight taper at the back would (in theory) help out with rear end aero, which is where the biggest gains are to be had. I'm thinking about putting an aero-ish tail on my 185, as well, since I'm doing a 1 up seat and incorporating a trunk into the back rest, and the sides of the bike are a point of concentration, due to the aspect ratio a bike has (width/height). The ideal shape is basically to turn your bike into a fish, but I'm not going quite that far. I'm just going to close up unnecessary holes, try to smooth out the sides some, and fair in the rear end for storage area and hopefully some decent aero. I hope to match theycallmebryan's numbers, at least.
