Yes. That canopy is the opposite of the streamlined motorcycles and more similar to cars where most of the air has to go up and over so the side view is the important shape to make fit the template since the wheel track prevents doing much taper from the top view. But if you can get the aero really good in two dimensions and round all of the edges, you can still have a very aero shape. Such as the solar racers.
