Nice shape.

I'm picking out an older photo, Have you extended the metal frame any from this photo? Are you keeping the guy wires. You have attachment points at the top? I thought I read that. When I used to build coroplast bike fairings I would attach it to the bike frame at 6 points. Two at the nose two in the front and two in the back They were stable without flutter at least at the speeds that I used to ride. They usually used about one sheet of coroplast. Perhaps Tony could jump in.
