So, some of you might have realized that I have a bit of a tendency to change things up quite sporadically at times. This is one of those times. As I was finishing up the right side of my fairing I took a few steps back and realized that what I had made is not only a huge compromise in aerodynamics, it is also already commercially available. I also was recently given an electric bike to play with, and have decided to streamline that as well. My new direction is simple, and much easier to implement and repeat. I have made a plug for a top/bottom piece to be put together into a dustbin type fairing 20" wide, and am going to pull a mold so that I can make multiple fairings. I will also be doing the same for a matching tail piece.
