Is the streamliner width (wich I found is a little too wide) to comply to the 4 bags of grocery requirement of the Vetter Challenge ?

Yes, and no. last year's fairing was 20" wide, and carried the groceries fine, but could not carry a passenger at the same time. this year's fairing is 24" wide for two reasons. This way it can carry the groceries while riding two up Making it a more effective tourer than a goldwing, and also I can install full sides. Last year I tried side doors, and they touched my shoulders on both sides. I will have bomb bay doors for my feet, and retain seating for two. it is actually currently very slightly smaller overall frontal area than last year's, since it is shorter, and rounder. We will see if this changes as I tweak the windshield.
(P.S. this would work really well on a scooter with the floorboards removed.)

I see you've set it up to carry a pillion but if riding alone a light clip on shell to cover the extra gap might be useful?

Very much so. this is exactly how I did it last year.although it started off as a single passenger and then morphed into a two seater after.
One seat.
Two seat
I got 85mpg in two up mode, and 108mpg at the Vetter Challenge in one seat mode.
