This fairing is for protection and by itself does not improve speed in a coast down test. I have a hill at the end of my street that drops 30 ft. in 0.1 of a mile. I use a Sigma digital speedometer. Starting at 0 mph I get a top speed of 17 mph with my center bars and 16 mph with the front fairing alone. I am working on side panels and a tail box with the goal of a 25% reduction in drag.
