I have been following closely the construction of the fairings Alan Smith and Craig Vetter have been building. The aluminum framing looks like it would absorb a good bit of energy in a crash front or rear. I don't think either have mentioned putting the faired bikes on their side while riding. Right now Craig needs a good headlight system for the Helix. A PAR-36 size lamp is the smallest legal headlamp available. The strips of LEDs as marker lights and turn signals looks to make the bike highly visiable. Safe doesn't have to be ugly or boring, just smart.
