Does that motorcycle shirt stay completely solid or does it flap around side to side turbulently? How would you remove that dacron panel so you can fold the tapered boxtail closed.

One advantage of inflating it with a pump is that it can be completely deflated with a pump.

One idea i had for stowing it is add eyes to either the inside or outside of the inflatable tail and run a cable around the tail in spiral pattern and then connect it to the end of the hinged flat bottom panel. A mini winch could pull on the spiraled cable narrowing or squishing the tail flat and then lifting the bottom panel(s) up against the vehicle.
