It sounds like putting a well-fitted windshield can lower the power output by several watts, now I have to do it myself and check if it works that well for me (I ride almost only in the touring position, I don't do any racings).

These upper wheel fairing are really expensive, maybe doing your own fairing that are integrated with fenders and enclose the whole wheel (with cuts for brakes) would be a cheaper way?


Rumdog, I've seen that some of the pizza delivery men riding on scooters have rucksacks in a prolonged shape, maybe that would be a good base for making a kamback pack

Grant-53, I will surely make the read about the tail box, I'm riding upright so I have to check if it will work well in that configuration.
You could try building those items out of extruded foam/Foamular. It makes a fantastic platform to experiment with and you can easily shape fer yer needs. If you want to go even further, you will have a shape that you built to work from.
