I went back to see which post you are referring to. The 2015 Hildago is a long nose recumbent someone else designed. The silver cone fairing I did is for an aerobar set up. It is a guess work piece made from hex mesh and tarp . The white coroplast touring fairing is for flat handle bars. If you are on a road bike with drop handle bars your back angle should be about 45 degrees. Have someone take a picture of you on the bike with a plain background. The shell will extend from your neck to just below your knees. The width at the shoulders will be the max width, 18-20 inches. The length would be 3.92 times that (70-78 in.) according to aerohead. The nose is more parabolic than a cone and the overall shape tapers to the rear. A squared off tail 7-8 inches wide would work for mounting lights.
