I had a handlebar fairing on my vmax 25 years ago. It went into a speed wobble on a straight road and threw me into a ditch, I can still feel it slapping the steering to one lock and back to the other side.

I would stay away from any fairing that moved with the steering.

Look into a dust bin fairing that closes like Kamper bob points out. It doesn't have to reduce the frontal area to make it better than an unfaired bike.

I would like to get to a streamlined motorcyle event like Craig Vetter is organizing.
