Although the sample is way to small... I did a 100km trip today, and used 3.2L, at average speeds over 100km/hr, with short burst to over 140km/hr, 10C air temp, windy, with new 17T front sprocket [16T stock], and extensions to the fairing. This is quite promissing if it continuse. I still have quit a few small detail mods to do. My crude 12:1 scale model, wind tunnel tests suggests that an aproximate 35% reduction in drag is available from modifications to standard fairings.
