Chopped tail anyone?

I don't think a flat front end is 'ideal' shouldn't it be more rain droppish?

A blimp is aerodynamically designed for its purpose. Cool!
About the front end bluntness, i had mentioned this a few posts back. Most of the air will flow to the sides of the fairing since that is the most parsimonic path. Motorcycles are taller than they are wider (opposite of what you would find in most cars), so more concentration should be made on the sides of the fairing than the top. Having a blunt front end is not necessarily detrimental, and as Christ mentioned, its the ass that matters
.
That having been said, these pictures are a first take at a possible plan for the fairing. I will try some other things to improve the aesthetics.
