fairing
I was looking at the fairings from zzipper and I had some questions for you experts. The fairings remind me of a windblock fairing on an older motorcycle. I know they have some "roundness" to them but they don't look like they "cut" the wind very well. Wouldn't it be more advantageous to make a fairing similiar to this (attachment) but without the big opening for the radiator? It seems to me that a more pointed front (enclosing most of the front wheel) would be more beneficial??? Then add a boattail on the back and viola!!!!
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that a rounded blunt front end is all we need for the speed we achieve. The pointy "tip" comes more into play up around 700 mph or so. I don't don't have any quantative numbers, but I can tell you that the fairing makes me faster on the beater bike than un faired on a race bike.
