Below the tail fin the builders and sponsors are listed.

The streamlined section has less drag than a thin round flagpole, and nothing flapping on top. In a crosswind, it swings to catch the wind and pay back the usual small drag, as well as stabilize the trike.

The fin easily detaches for standing the trike on its back wheel and locking the frame to a pole.
