Here's a photo with the Type 5 in white primer. Perhaps the transition from Kevlar™ to polyethylene can be seen better here.

Type 4 was a Fiberglass Type 5 . You can see the wedge shape of the Fairing , looking down from the deck to the back yard. The other bike has the Frame Rails which supported the Fairings. These Frame Rails would crack every 6,000 miles to to Cycle Fatigue, and I don't recommend using this technique, unless maybe try Steel instead of Aluminum...
