Wheel fairing / body turbulance

I agree that there will be turbulance between the two and the flow will get pretty crazy in there while cornering. But how much does the wheel actually articulate while at highway speeds where aero is so important? 10 degrees maybe? Probably not 30. When you have the wheel cranked over 30 degrees the wind is coming over the body sideways, not along it's length. The turbualnce over one fairing, over the body then over the other fairing would be horrific, if there was any velocity involved. But again, you are only going to see these manouvers at slow speed. Or you might see one heck of a rollover.
