The front wheel fairing has to go to. I was quite confident that it would work and not affect the steering to much.

It turned out to be very scary to ride even with as little as 3 beaufort (about 10mph) side wind I did not dare to go over 35mph. It is a pity I made a mould and all without ever testing with a cardboard model.

Now I am forced to change the design drastically
I guess that's a warning for ya!

Coincidentally, Googling "Slipster" places this page in the search results at #5.
