I thought De Ligmotor should have kept the full fairing for rain and foot protection inside the fairing. He says he kept some of it to keep his feet out of the wheel but he's going to get some wet legs if he rides that in the rain. I can tell you that there is a lot of water that sprays out sideways after it impacts the fender. If the fully faired wheel is inside the outer fairing it shouldn't affect handling adversely even in crosswinds. The wind can't get to it, right? Inspiring work though, great link
