I'm wondering if anyone has done, or has heard of doing this, on motorcycle tires?

not on motorcycle's but on cycles for time races and track races they're quite common. because these particular races are about pure speed the rider's position is more bended forward and the handlebar has an aditional central handle so that the riders arms are together in front of him... combined with a special drop shaped helmet this sure makes a difference in drag, however sidewinds are a problem with full wheels and in normal races where the riders are competeing side by side and are up agains the elements and the terrain i've never seen full wheels used.
here's a speed bike, most likely a carbonfiber frame with a lot of interestin aero shapes
