I would try and find a way to lower the price of the kit if possible.

You can get a body kit for a car for $500 and it's essentially the same thing as far as pieces and material goes.

Are you building them each by hand? If you could use injection molding or a similar process, you could probably sell them cheaper.

As far as interest goes, I feel that most people who rides bikes couldn't care less about fuel economy. Most like the thrill. The average college kid who wouldn't mind saving money on fuel for his bike probably can't afford a $2000 fairing.
