And it has a start on some serious fairing that could be extended rather than replaced. Good job, Sendler!

I'll base my bike on a CT110, largely because they are relatively cheap and have a great spare parts supply, they're ex postie bikes here.



With one of those I can get a reasonably low feet forward seating position as per these photos of Ironside's excellent bike. I think that apart from reducingthe frontal area and making fitting a decent fairing easier it will also be a very comfortable position for long rides.
