Good question. IDK what the frontal area is of the last vetter fairing or how I could figure it out. I guess I could get a cardboard box and start cutting it till it rimmed around the widest parts perpendicular to the ground. Then take it, photograph it and find an online area tool.
The above is only the tail I will be sitting against. 19" from the bottom is the seat pan and I think 38" from there is the top of the headrest. Vetter has some updates on his page showing the new seat rest if I recall. If not you can find them on my blog.
EDIT: according to sketchup the area is 7.94617105sq ft total, if you exclude the bottom area which is under the seat it is 5.42907009 sqft.
The real number is likely between the two as to sides are not perfectly flush with the bike. So something like 6.46168089 sqft if you account for the 6" on either side of the bike the fairing hangs out.
