Streamlining an air cooled bike is a bit trickier than one with a radiator but quite possible with some thought. I use a coast down test to compare fairings. The hill is measured for height and distance. I average the speed of several runs after warming the tires. The best increases come from improving the flow behind the rider. See Sendler's tail box and some sailplane shapes.
