Have you considered a split front faring with a separate boat tail behind so you can ride the bike normally and without having to arrange for a door to get on (or rather in) the bike? The air does not really know the difference and you could save weight. Essentially you body would be filling the potential wake area in the gap. I am not a bike guy but for a regular rider this might be more user friendly. I understand that your goal is 100 MPG at 70 MPH so this might not be less than ideal for that, but it is an option that could be looked into. The boat tail would have to be shaped so the it did not create a parachute, but other then that it could be useful for storage.
