Grant53 I have no plans and at this time to sell fairings.
My bike is pretty much fully streamlined
I'll have pics this evening after I finish primer.

I rode near the back of the pack with my Yamaha. 15 hp was more than enough power on the freeway. The big issue is gearing. If you have a small bike it needs to have changeable sprockets so that you can find the optimal ratio. Mass makes a difference only in uphill starting, or rapid acceleration. Of course all of this assumes that the bike is fully streamlined.
