Low&Slow I did some number crunching and when I compare the improvement from Carmel Hayes is 4% better, Smith is at 3%, Vetter is at 6%, and you are at just under 13% better. In looking at the pictures of your bike, problems I suspect are the side area beyond the front tire is bigger than it needs to be and the area behind the rear wheel needs to be tapered and the rear wheel should be covered just like the lower rear of the Hayes bodywork. Just my 2 bits. The two trips I have planed for 2012 are Carmel in May and Bonneville in September. I am working on two bikes in the garage and on a Kammback for my Yaris.
