I would be in for a nose and a cowl. Having the built in hand deflectors would be a big benefit when riding in cold or rain. The new cowl and windscreen were the final pieces of your design that really make yours and Alan's bike look trick! These are the complex parts. I understand the desire for minimizing the weight behind the rear wheel and the complexity of the size relationship/ angles involved in fitting bulkheads into a cone in order to get a nice, wrinkle free skin, but these are parts that can be just as easily cut locally with the correct angle on a reciprocating saw from light boat plywood once the templates and angles are designed. I see the tail as being built on a plywood spine running lengthwise along the rear seat frame with bulk heads at the front and behind the rear tire. The inside portions of the plywood then also cut and skeletonized to save weight.
