I have seen the honda streamliner, and the simple. they are both great vehicles, and there are many other excellent examples of well built streamlining, but I can't find one that is available to the general public at a reasonable price. so, I will make my own.
all flat panels is not a good design for a bike due to side wind stability issues.
