So i was doing some modeling in Blender to see what this beast would look like using a NACA 0030-93..... and MAN it looks so cool!!!!!! I still have to add a tail section, but everything in this picture is exactly to scale how it would be on the bike (of course, with smoother edges). I could have added a couple more vertices on the top of the canopy to make it smoother, but you get the idea.

And a rider view shot!

Heres a side view showing a picture of me on the bike behind the model. You can see where my head is oriented in relation to everything.
