There was a thread about this on side mirrors, although I suspect you're talking about something else. I remember they had also discussed a stepped partial boat tail looking like conical window louvers.
Interesting thread, and it's good to hear the reasoning behind it now. I would imagine a motorcycle is so complex a shape that it would be more effective to simply carve some rough bodywork out of foam and test it yourself than to play with primitive CFD forms.
