All well and such, but what if you hit something with a coney fairing?
My OEM fairing strips are rubber(or rubberlike) and quite small. They already have some dents and schratches despite of that.
You don't want it to become a road hazard.
I was thinking about constructing fairings from thin polypropene plates, which are cheap, sturdy and slightly flexible. Most of all each plate would fold from the 'base' (the upper part touching the existing bodywork) like the petals of a flower. The seams would be glued or molten together, but break loose if hit so the sides would just flap about, maybe, but not come loose.
If only I had the time to build it... (I should be working right now!)
