Thanks for creating that!

I really like the design of that front end. It looks modern/futuristic and still is pretty aerodynamic. I like how there is an oval off axis circling the rider... that kind of drags attention to the rider in a sense. I may have to incorporate something like that in to my design.

My main concerns are in the rear/tail section of the fairing. Most of the improvements in aerodynamic and reductions in drag will come as a result of cleaning up the tail and the resulting wake from the bike. As long as i can get decent protection from the elements in the front end, i do not really mind how it turns out aesthetically. I'd consider it a plus if the front end looked good. The rear end, however, needs to be more specialized and I'd like it to be boat tailed, or at least partial boat tailed.
