(Based on your post #12)

I kind of had to cringe when I saw the nice front wheel covering in your pictures above.

Many years ago, I made a beautiful foam/fiberglass front wheel fairing.

How did it work out you ask?

With no traffic around me, it was great!

But be in close quarters with a semi-trailer truck, is was awful. I lost almost all control of the front wheel due to the buffeting tumbling off the back of the trailer!

Very scarey!

(See Bryan's post at #18 as well; thanks Bryan)
