Doing a few mental exercises of trying to figure out where to put all the components on a FF design (radiator, engine, battery, oil tank, fuel tank, airbox, etc), it seems like it would be very hard.
Then I thought about how this might be much easier with an EV setup, especially if you are making your own frame.
Take one of the Zero motorcycles for the components (electronics, battery, motor), and then you can mount the motor and chain drive with a shorter chain behind the passenger, while you can put the battery down low between the rider's legs and the electronics on top. I would probably go with a longer wheel base and a remote steering head, but there may be ways around that.
Just a thought.
Oh, and don't forget Velomobiel FF aero scooter. He put the foot pegs on bars running down parallel to the forks (wider) and thus kept out of the way of the front wheel turning.
