Also most are doing open cockpits not closed. I only know of two that have done a closed cockpit. One fell over at speed, the other doesn't go fast ^_^
There is no way this 600lb beast is coming down. Fully enclosing the cockpit significantly reduces the Cd value assuming it is sealed. The Burgman is already split into 2 compartments which lends itself to being fully sealed.

You definitely need to enclose or cover your Zero due to large amounts of rain you receive in Virginia. When I was there last month it felt like a tropical forest compared to our CA drought.
