It was probably more trouble than it was worth but I wanted to add a rear looking roof cam to my system and this way I was able to incorporate that into the fairing. It’s kind of long but I still have room for solar panels. Probably would have been easier to just take it off and relocate it but it’s done for now.
According to Sighard Hoerner's book,your AC unit,with fairings should now be down around Cd 0.07.There is nothing lower out there.Sweet!
