Green Myst, Be careful about trying to fully enclose the rider with your streamlining. Fully enclosed bikes are very prone to sidewind problems ( check out the story about the Honda streamliner crashing out of a Vetter Challenge in the 80's). I'm not certain if that is your intention but picture you posted would have some big problems. Plan for some " blow through" space around the rider, safer and easier to get on and off.
Good luck with your project. L&S
