I've been looking at several photos of the electric Zero wearing Craig's bodywork and have been wondering what the effect of widening the lower rear section would be ? Increased drag no doubt to answer my own question but there appear to be some advantages for a touring bike .

It would be good for me to be able to have more storage , especially the heavier items down low. The bike I'm looking at has a raised exhaust which is not ideal but it would be good to have an opening exhaust below the muffler / silencer and a matching one on the other side, they could be very useful and frankly, the bigger the better.

There is a lot of storage above seat level but I would prefer to keep that area for light and bulky items.
