I'd have to think that Cd would be around .6. Most key elements are without any favorable taper at all, even to the extent of chopping them off at the point of maximum area.
I think you are probably correct, that the reduction in frontal area from chopping off the right half of the cockpit are cancelled by the additional area from the front wheel enclosures.
The third wheel would also add some frontal area.
In all states, 3-wheelers are motorcycles, and in most states, HOV lanes can be used my motorcycles.
