I have followed the Vetter Challenges for a number of years. I would say that your design is more than a dust bin and tail piece. It is a full body motorcycle fairing system. I would suggest you have a long talk with Craig Vetter as he is planning sales of his design and has considerable experience in maunfacturing and marketing. So far shipping fairings has been the biggest drawback to sales, not price or quality. Michigan is a good location for East Coast distribution and there are likely many businesses there that could economically produce fairings given a good design. It is the step from basement prototype to marketable product that is very steep unless you have some business knowledge. That is where I am with bicycle fairings for commuter bikes. Good hunting.
