In the rain my hands and feet stay dry, its so nice to have the foam back rest that the wind pushes my upper body against. I have a few more details to finish which should get better mpg and and cooler runing temperatures, It is running in the high end of the normal range and the fan does not come on.
You might want to add some defectors to keep the air from hitting your chest. If it's pushing against your chest it's creating drag and not flowing around you.
